German term or phrase: Klarsichtreiniger
It's in a list of permitted products to be used for cleaning acrylic glass.

It is described as a: "handelsübliche Seifenlauge oder lösungsmittelfreier Oberflächenreiniger für Glas und Kunststoffe."

Is there a more common German term for this as it doesn't get many hits in Google and I can't seem to find any English translation.
Thanks for any suggestions.

glass and surface cleaner


Explanation:
Noch eine Option.

Es stimmt, dass die Suche nach „Klarsichtreiniger“ in Google nicht viele Treffer bringt. Das verwundert mich ein bisschen, weil ich es schon für einen Standardausdruck halten würde - neben „Glasreiniger“, „Haushaltsreiniger“, vielleicht auch „Reinigungsspray“.
