    I have all three, so I took a photo of each one with an identical camera angle and overhead can lighting...

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    Damn, I can't believe that one is so much worse than the others.

    One thing that surprised me is that the color of the reflection is different on each one.

    Yeah, I should have included a standard piece of glass before I took down the tripod and everything :-/ At this point, my personal favorite is PDI glass. I like the anti-reflective properties and the nicely beveled edges.

    Here's a reflection of one of the overhead lights, zoomed-in. Left to right these are Stern HD, Invisiglass, and PDI...

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    "Special cleaner" meaning ammonia free glass cleaner? That's not that exotic is it?

    I use Sparkle and micro-fiber cloth on all my pinball glass. Not a big deal. A plus is that it doesn't get used-up on non-pinball stuff and slowly disappear (like every bottle of Windex I ever owned)

    Quoted from jar155:

    It's a pain. It streaks on the other machines more than regular glass cleaner. So it's annoying to use. I like the foaming glass cleaner that works WAY better. Plus, you can use a paper towel on the other games, not on games with HD/PDI/Invisiglass.
    Also, cleaning is harder on these glasses. You have to work much harder to get little spots out.

    That foaming stuff (Sprayway I think it is) is fantastic. Not on delicate anti-reflective glass, but for windows and stuff like that. It actually gets the hazy film off the inside of a windshield!
