Let me look into seeclearFor inside the tank I use a mag float with a SeeCleer scrub sponge. You can get these thru Unique Corals. They make algae wiping the inside a dream.
For the spots where coraline takes hold or in the corners I use a plastic razorblade.
Every few years I for the inside I use a wet sanding kit that has about 12 different levels of sandpaper between 600 and 12000 grit. Which lets you remove scratches and polish the tank without draining it.
For the outside whenever I use the Magfloat magnet - which on the outside of the tank I place a MicroFiber hand towel between the magnet and the acrylic I use Novus Polish. For when I have people coming over I have an aerosol acrylic polish called Polish Bright in a Black and Blue can. It smells bad but spray it on and wipe off with a microfiber towel and it is beautiful.
For scratches on the outside the Novus 2 & 3 with various fine grits of wet sand paper and an orbital buffer and things look good as new.

I highly recommend the SeeClear both inside and outside pads. I keep my magfloat in the tank 24/7. You should get 2 inside pads, so while one is in the tank getting algae growing on it which makes it less and less efficient you have a second one sitting in the sun bleaching to swap it with. Also the inside pads last about 18 months for me. The outside pads last for years and years - So buy accordingly.Magnets are literally $250+ ? Not really cost effective.
