fluorine and acids will lead to a staining or matting of the surface. To prevent such an occurrence, all
such substances must be removed from the glass immediately. It is recommended that the glazing is
cleaned as soon as it is installed.
Cleaning means: washing, rinsing and drying the glass. A mild soap or neutral detergent can be used,
