    As for all the questions on what his powder was, I've seen a few guys with bottle cleaning strategies on CZcams and they use a variety of things, sometimes along with vinegar, sometimes not, but with some kind of liquid, maybe just water, to make a syrup if it's just a dry product like salt or bicarbonate of soda; or they'll use toothpaste or any metal polish (according to one guy). I've tried a few of these, along with others, like GoJo, a hand cleaner in a syrupy solution, which actually contains pumice. I've found that it's all kind of laborious, but most of these solutions worked for me, using a bottle brush. If in doubt, make a paste with any of the powdery stuff that you want to use and rub vigorously on any glass object, like an empty jar, to see if it scratches and leaves a haze on glass (none did, that I tested), or if GoJo or metal polish (already a paste), use out of the bottle as is. I was cleaning a 1940's soda bottle found in a dump and I got most (but not all) the haze off. A real old bottle may be a different story: that old glass material may not tolerate it. Test anything you do that I'm saying here, and Google it. I don't want people hurting their bottles.

    He never mentions the product name but assume it’s cerium oxide powder since this is video result when I googled “cerium oxide vase polish.”

    How many ingredients in powder? Is it close to 90% one ingredient?

    You know you said you'd get onto that about what the powder was that you are using, I dont think you mentioned it. Would you mind explaining what the powder consists of?

    But i have a 30” pulled vase with a round ball bottom..how can i get it to dry without water spot when theres no way to get inside or around the bottom base..ive tried a hair blow dryer and vacuum but it stays moist in the bottom

    • @patrickmathews1944

      Rinse with 91% rubbing alcohol, drain, then just stand it upright. Just enough alcohol to swish around and coat the inside. The alcohol removes any residual water, then evaporates without leaving any stains or residue

      ​@@leedelany2832 Website no longer works, and nothing came up on eBay. Looks like he's stopped selling the kits, leaving us with no clue as to what he used.

      I use Baking soda and it works for me , the only trick is figuring out the ratio of Baking soda to water for different sized jobs , also you must really rinse well and end with distilled water rinse to prevent any water spots from forming !@@vickismith9550
