So I went to the antique road show last weekend and I brought a few bottles. They didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know. However, they did note a couple of bottles that had hazing, which they called sick glass. Supposedly it is when the glass starts breaking down because of age and chemicals. I applied some Pam cooking spray and they look 100% better. Does anyone know of any other ways to get rid of the hazing? These photos are from the hutch I found today.
Thanks
Adam

Bottle tumbling is the best way to remove Sick glass or that haze. LEON.

I use Bar-Keepers-Friend, liquid and dry powder.

Used to use WD-40, but seems to get sticky after awhile and attracts dust and bugs.

Thanks Dr.! This bottle is in my kitchen, so dust and bugs won't be good. I imagine the cooking spray will probably do the same. BKF took off the majority of the dirt and rust stains, but wouldn't remove the hazing.
