I have a grinding shield like this:

This shield was used alot this summer. At times, there were nights where it was in use for up to 3 hours for everything from grinding steel, to cutting steel, to grinding/flapping herculiner, etc. The shield was so dirty to the point where you could barely see through it well enough to grind.
So one night I figured that I'd clean it off by spraying some Brake Clean on a shop rag, and then just wiping the mask clean. Yes, I am a dumb ***. I use brake clean to clean many things in the shop, so I figured that it'd work like a charm on this mask. Well I wipe the mask off, and come to realize that it's not cleaning it, but instead it's leaving behind a film that made it impossible to see through the mask. I can't remove this film, and don't know how to.
Any of you guys have some advice or ideas??
