TLC for your Still Air Box

Lately, my Still Air Box (Sterlite 116 quart) has been getting a bit murky and difficult to see through. I've been thinking of installing some internal lighting to see if that would help.
But while washing the car today, the heavens opened and a guiding light fell upon me.
Here is the fix: A) super clean the SAB inside and out I did this in three passes using a clean microfiber cloth on each pass pass 1 - use a no/low residue detergent like Spic and Span pass 2 - 70% isopropyl alcohol pass 3 - a nano cleaner/sealant (I used Chemical Guys Hybrid V7) B) apply a wax/sealant finish inside and out I used NuFinish
The result is fantastic. No haze or smudges. The surface shines and is very clear and transparent.
Time required: about 20 minutes.
Nothing fancy here. Just stuff I use on the car.
NOTE: DO NOT USE polishing compound on the soft tote material. I tested a different tote with a light polishing compound (Meguiars Ultimate Polish) and the finish was scratched and cloudy.

I was thinking about doing something similar but never had the motivation to experiment with it. Thanks for the info, I'm gonna try this.

And here I was wanting to mod with plexi glass for visibility
-------------------- Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is nearly impossible for a man to try to live without hope, so I guess that leaves Man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion.

The inside of my sab is sopping wet with soapy water. I turn the flashlight on my phone and set it on top of sab. I spray peroxide and Lysol generously and let it settle. Then I start my work. Bingo bango furry triango! Contams have become extremely rare. Thankfully I see contamination in tubs long after 2nd/3rd flushes. Great idea tho I will keep this in mind
