Well, I decided to test this annoyance. Read below.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePersonal NOTE:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e This Maxell line-up (1986~1991) has a very unusual and annoying hazy see-through window. According to Julian of Ontario, Canada, it was due to Maxell’s choice of polystyrene used that is the cause of this problem. A slow chemical reaction with the air makes these windows go “foggy” after a while. I truly dislike this characteristic about this Maxell run of cassettes, and so I decided to see for myself, if this haze could be removed by wiping the window down from the inside of the cassette. I unsealed a brand-new Maxell MX with a bad wrapper, that had this annoying hazy window. I removed the screws and then opened the shells apart carefully. I removed the first slip sheet off to the side (that was easy) and proceeded to wipe down the window of that \"easy\" first shell. Lo and behold, wiping off the inside of the window worked beautifully! I applied a gentle amount of watered-down Windex onto a micro-fiber cloth, and this dull and hazy window immediately turned into a super sharp and clean looking window. Cleaning the window from the other shell was way more \"difficult\". You will need the patience of a saint to put it all back as it should be. Conclusion? If you are going to unwrap one of these up for use, go that extra mile and wipe these \"hazy\" windows and enjoy these brilliant tapes from Maxell looking clear and sharp!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cimg height=\"452\" width=\"555\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0254\/5208\/5345\/files\/2A29BC67-B598-412C-B251-1849472A1E4B.jpg?v=1734630360\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Maxell:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0.5em 0px; line-height: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaxell Holdings, Ltd.\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cspan lang=\"ja\"\u003e日立マクセル株式会社\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cem\u003eHitachi Makuseru Kabushiki-gaisha\u003c\/em\u003e), commonly known as \u003cstrong\u003eMaxell\u003c\/strong\u003e, is a \u003ca style=\"text-decoration-line: none; color: #0b0080; background: none;\" title=\"Japan\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Japan\"\u003eJapanese\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca class=\"mw-redirect\" style=\"text-decoration-line: none; color: #0b0080; background: none;\" title=\"Company (law)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Company_(law)\"\u003ecompany\u003c\/a\u003e that manufactures \u003ca style=\"text-decoration-line: none; color: #0b0080; background: none;\" title=\"Consumer electronics\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Consumer_electronics\"\u003econsumer electronics\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0.5em 0px; line-height: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eMaxell was formed in 1960, when a dry cell manufacturing plant was created at the company's headquarters in \u003ca style=\"text-decoration-line: none; color: #0b0080; background: none;\" title=\"Ibaraki, Osaka\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ibaraki,_Osaka\"\u003eIbaraki, Osaka\u003c\/a\u003e.
