Some of you know I've been working on an upcoming article for Nuts and 
Volts magazine .. in the process I used a recycled Peanut Butter jar as 
the chassis. The problem is the jar label was difficult to remove and by 
the time I got rid of all the residue, the plastic was slightly opaqued:

I was wondering if anyone knows of a magic way to return the original 
clarity to this type of material? If it helps, the type of plastic 
(according to the symbol on the bottom of the jar) is a #1 in a triangle 
with the letters "PETE" under it..?
