Default Isinglass Windows

My 32 woody has sat for years in an air conditioned area and the
Isinglass window were sticky with oil released from the windows.
This was thick and you could not see through them. I have a girl
that cleans boats and cars that is a real worker in cleaning all of
my cars. This oily sticky substance was all over the wood also. She
started with vinegar which removed some of it but a strong industrial
detergent got them shiny and clear and now you can see through them.
The detergent also cleaned the canvas and when dry we applied a coat
of water proofing used on boots. She finished the windows with glass
wax and they look almost new. She had to clean the wood about 3 times
to get all the gum out of the little groves and spent over a day on the
cleaning but the woody looks like new. This woody has beautifully
matched wood. This car came from MGM Studios about 45 years ago.
I am going to call them and see if I can find out any history of films
it may have been used in. I also have a 32 cabriolet to match. I am
86 now and need to start selling some of them. G.M.
