very interesting will have to try it on a few bottles
Iam postin one of my acl cleaning methods (that I got from this site)
for the outside good info thakns epackage and Thanks And Welcome iblackvelvet
ORIGINAL: epackage

Well I spoke to Kevin, nice guy, and his cleaning method intrigues me. He gets a piece of fiberglass rod a couple of feet long, the kind you might use as marker or stake along your driveway, and he cuts it into manageable lengths depending on the size of the bottle he plans on cleaning. He then takes strips of cotton t-shirt or car shammy and tapes them to the end of the rod, he mixes up 4 or 5 teaspoons of automotive 'rubbing compound' with a cup of warm water and pours it into the bottle.

Then he puts the rod into a cordless drill and inserts it into the bottle and runs it at a speed that's not too fast and basically polishes the inside of the bottle, it may take 5 minutes, 15 minutes or maybe even a little longer, but his bottles come out very clean. He uses the fiberglass so as not to damage the bottle, instead of using a metal rod. He them takes another rod and tapes a few more pieces of shammy material to it and inserts it to dry the inside, I'll be trying this method myself this week, it does sound promising and makes sense to me.

He meant no harm and didn't want there to be any issues, and being new to the forum he didn't know how touchy this subject can be here. I'm glad I called and was able to let everyone know what he does for his collection, let me know how it works for any of you if you decide to try it...

Thank you for the welcome Splante....... I have to give credit to epackage for his effort for posting the method and the pic's for me. As I said earlier, this method does work, It all depends on the compound you use and how long you clean the bottle. I am still experimenting . I know with the help of all the good people in this forum we will perfect this method or we will all just buy a tumbler!!! Any questions please feel free to contact me anytime. Thanks Kevin....
