Leave em' be. Make certain they are 1000000% dry before trying to clean ACL (exterior), and even then, go easy!
I've ruined some cool ones...
Cool bottles tho.
Interior is easy. Tiny bits of copper wire (12 AWG or close), warm soapy water and vigorous shaking.

Caution is a good thang!Nice.
After some experiences I've personally had, I er on the side of caution.
Grate comment! Nuthin like a mesage in a bott'l! I found one once on a beach in Tahiti... all the way from Japan!I just cleaned this 1952 ACL bottle with an alcohol prep pad yesterday. After finding the bottle in the ground the same day. I stand by my results. Alcohol removes the dirt but not the paint.

Holy smoks!!! Can u imagin?As far as I know some names are worth more then others. You might get $5.00 for a common name but maybe $100 on a rarer name. Good Luck. LEON.
Thanks guys! Whaat means ACL?Welcome to the site! That's a lot of named Mountain Dew bottles in one place! I recommend selling one at a time in an auction, since you said auctions are what you prefer. Personally I prefer "buy it now" but that's just me. With the economy in the gutter, you may only get a few bids on a bottle. Many people don't have disposable income to spend on hobbies now. Try cleaning them with alcohol prep pads. Just don't press too hard on that ACL. Making them look more clean and presentable should get a better price.
ACL = Applied Color LabelThanks guys! Whaat means ACL?
