Gobfish Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 If you are having trouble cleaning it, just check that it isn't one of the old style coated lenses with a damaged coating. I normally use a lens cleaning pen and/or a lens cloth, always clean in circular fashion out towards the edge (don't zig zag), I got a lens greasy once so cleaned it with soapy water, came up fine, but I wouldn't recommend it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooter Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 I found that the best option if the lens has any greasy marks on it is to use the same liquid I use for cleaning my spectacle lenses. The liquids are fairly cheap and designed not to damage the coatings. Used with a lens cleaning cloth, or a cotton bud, wet the cloth/cotton bud then gently dab the marks, or roll the cotton bud over it, just in case there is something gritty in it. For normal cleaning I use a lens pen in the same way as Gobfish. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Essex Hunter Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 I am having problems cleaning the glass on my scope and was wondering how most people do there’s. Shootingcharley I went to the opticians and got a small pump spray for cleaning glasses, the guy gave me a few soft cleaning cloths as well. I use 2 one to take up most of the spray and the second to finish. Just be gentle TEH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Just a quick tip- blow or brush off any dust like particals off the glass first before you go in with the cloth's if those little speks are not dust but possible tiny particals of grit or such like you will ruin your glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
