Place the glass on a clean, non-abrasive surface for cleaning.
Use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the glass. Tru Vue recommends using a micro-fiber cloth.
Spray a small amount of ammonia-free cleaner onto the cloth. Spraying on the cloth will prevent streaking and overspray.
Press the cloth against the glass and clean in round, circular motions to reduce streaking or leaving spots.

UV Protection Glass โข Museum Glass, by shinybrite on May 2, 2010 21:45:06 GMT 1, This one is trial & error.
I've found cloths & cleaners that were supposed to be for Museum glass, and they just left marks; I've finally found the simplest things to be the best.
Any old cotton things like T-Shirts etc, just cut off seems & logos etc, and a good quality silicone free spray, you may have to try a couple until you're happy.
Little tip, when you're pretty much done, with just the odd mark remaining, don't add more cleanser, but do the old heavy breath thing, and a quick wipe on a dry bit of cloth, should get those pesky final spots ;-)

UV glass isn't fool proof, people think it prevents 99% of UV damage, not quite so, it prevents 99% of the most damaging rays getting through to the image, which is a different thing. Make sure your framer uses the best materials around the image as well, as this will help prevent internal chemical reactions affecting the picture. I like the sound of Alphamat from Nielsen, although Museum board is the standard high grade option.

UV Protection Glass โข Museum Glass, by shinybrite on May 2, 2010 22:21:00 GMT 1, Some framers now refuse to use glass over certain sizes for the dreaded health & safety reasons, they just don't want the hassle.
To be honest if it's not that much bigger than 1m Tru Vues Museum should be fine, as their glasses UV film makes the glass slightly thicker, and therefore a little stronger. Make sure it's Tru Vue though and not another brand.
You say AR Mirror Guard has a tint, it doesn't, this is an optical effect as the glass now reflects light in a different way due to how it's been treated. As it's not reflecting white light back at you all you can see is what remains, sometimes a blue or green light, this is the same for Tru Vues Museum, so maybe this is an option for you.
If you have to go with plastic, go for Art Shield UV, no AR effect, but it's still very good.

It also reduces glare when a work is viewed from different angles, minimizing the mirror-like effect of typical glass and improving the intensity of colors and details.

UV Protection Glass โข Museum Glass, by bitpunk on Mar 26, 2011 16:16:08 GMT 1, Took a trip to a framers today to discuss framing options for Banksy's No Ball Games and Eelus' Not Everything ... it was a good experience, really helpful etc, but I left the place with a dilemma over the choice of glass to use.
I decided on the museum glass for the Banksy as I thought the price is worth it for the value of the print, but for the Eelus, after much umming and aahing, I finally decided on the standard glass. He said it would be absolutely fine as it long as it wasn't in direct sunlight yada yada ...
He said that if I was really concerned about UV protection (and I'm not sure whether I should be or not tbh), that I should go for the acrylic option - which costs a little more that the regular glass but a lot less than museum glass - so he suggested I have a think about it and call him with my decision.
I'm just overwhelmed with data now and I don't know whether I've made the right choice on either. Any thoughts??

I got my Eelus NEISB&W back from my framers last week.
As with all my prints, I save up till I have enough for the Museum Glass.
From my experience theres no comparison...honestly, if you love your Eelus as much as I do, you should go with the MG..
None of my prints are worth big bucks, but to me thats not the point....its the appeal of the image that attracts me to a print, so why would you frame your stunners with a glass that detracts from the clarity...the UV protection(I'm in OZ) is the highest in the world, but thats secondary to the enhancement of the image the MG gives....

Not as standard as I've had both UV and regular from him. It will be detailed on your quote/invoice or just give him a shout if you don't still have the details.

Not the best description I know but if you try it you should see what I mean.cnh

Side by side, the difference is immediate. As you move around you notice the reflection on the standard, or more importantly you notice that the museum glass has none ... I found myself moving around, ducking etc to try and find a hint of reflection from lights, lamps, windows etc., but there is none with the Banksy NGB.
However, and this is a big point, I have managed to hang the Eelus with standard glass on a wall that, from most viewing positions within the room, has no sources of reflection. So position is definitely key.

UV Protection Glass โข Museum Glass, by Andy'77 on Apr 17, 2012 10:13:44 GMT 1, I've three unsigned Banksy prints that have all been framed identically with conservation window mounts and UV glass. They been framed for around 3 or 4 years and have never been on a wall that receives sunlight.
As I'm selling two of the prints, I removed one last night to find that the paper had faded ever so slightly such that there is a very faint border where the mount covered the paper. It's barely noticeable but there all the same. The prints are 2 rats and a CND so are on the yellowy recycled paper, but I was surprised this has happened, should I have expected this?
I checked the CND and the same thing has happened. I'm planning on keeping the 2nd rat so will now get that float mounted.
Everything else I have is float mounted so it's only these three prints that are an issue. I've seen a number of these prints elsewhere with window mounts, has anyone else seen this occur?
