Hi I have some old airlift polycarbonate doors that look very aged and need a deep cleaning, what works best on cleaning these I tried straight vinegar and didn't do that great. I was thinking trying half water half muriatic acid but not sure it that would damage doors.

What works best on these doors?

I called them and they said Kleen Wall which I'be been using on my extrutech walls will work on them.

We watch the amount of dwell time if we resort to the stronger wall cleaner. We wash them very often so scum usually is not a problem like if we rarely washed & lightly scrubbed them.

Mystic acid? Is this the same as muriatic acid? Never heard of mystic acid.
