Does anyone know a good method for cleaning mineral deposits from glass tops...

Lots of websites say to use a vinegar solution. I have used it but wouldn't swear that it's any better than elbow grease and a razor blade.

I always had trouble, but found a good method recently.
For the inside of tanks, set tank on side, with deposit side on the floor. Get a couple of paper towels and lay them along the water deposit. Pour straight white viengar onto the paper towels. Make sure there are no bubbles.
Go have a beer.
Come back 10 minutes later and use a new razer blade to scrape off film. This should work. Switch to next side and repeat.
Glass tops should be even easier. The key is to let the vinegar soak into the stains for a bit.
Good luck.

Excellent tip Tony, this weekend I will grab a 18 pack and clean my tops. When the wife ask where all the empty beers came from I can let her read this! I was just following instructions!!!!

You can use a product called CLR. It works great just be sure to rinse real well. As said before a single edge razor blade in a scrapper works pretty good as well.

I always use white vinegar on a paper towel. Seems to work fine and without need for a razor blade.

If vinegar doesn't work it is etched and you won't be getting it clear without polishing it - which is a whole different animal.
