Treat acrylic well and
it'll outlast you.
A short guide to keeping your case optically perfect. None of it is complicated — but the wrong product can ruin a 5 mm acrylic panel in seconds.
- I
Routine · Weekly
Microfiber and distilled water.
Dust accumulates faster than scratches. Use a clean microfiber cloth, lightly damp with distilled water. Wipe in straight lines, not circles. That's the entire routine.
Every case ships with a microfiber cloth. Retire it when it starts to feel gritty.
- II
Routine · Deep
Twice a year, an acrylic-safe cleaner.
When fingerprints stop lifting with water, apply a small amount of an ammonia-free acrylic-safe cleaner to the cloth. Never spray directly on the case. Wipe gently. Buff dry with a second clean microfiber.
We recommend Novus #1 (cleans + reduces static) or Brillianize. Both safe for cast acrylic.

Storage
Out of direct sunlight.
Display out of direct sunlight when possible. Even UV-filtering acrylic blocks 99%, not 100%; over a decade, that last 1% matters for colored-ink stability on the sealed box artwork inside.
Keep ambient humidity moderate. Acrylic itself is unaffected; the cardboard inside isn't.

Minor scratches
Novus #2, then #1.
For light scratches, Novus #2 (fine scratch remover) applied with firm pressure in straight lines, finished with Novus #1. For deep scratches in a featured edition, don't attempt it yourself.

Two short lists. Tape them up.
Do
- Clean microfiber, lightly damp with distilled water
- Wipe in straight lines
- Acrylic-safe cleaner (Novus #1 / Brillianize) for deep cleans
- Apply cleaner to the cloth — never directly to the case
Don’t
- Glass cleaners with ammonia (Windex). These cause clouding.
- Paper towels. The cellulose fibers scratch.
- Rough sponges, scouring pads, or any abrasive.
- Acetone, alcohol, or any solvent-based product.
