[ARCHIVED THREAD] - cleaning optics?

what do you guys use to clean the glass on your optics? right now I've tried everything from silk eyeglass cloth to microfiber (horrible idea, leaves little hairs all over the glass) and there's always something still there, I can never really get it proper clean, maybe I'm being too picky but is there a secret to this?

LensPen

It comes with trijicon's.

If I'm shooting outside in the rain/mud then I just run the optic(acog) under water until clean let it dry then clean glass with LensPen.

Good luck

Lenspens are a lot easier and quicker than Qtips and acetone. The Qtips are thrown away after each wipe, whereas a lenspen should be good for about 500 uses before the carbon is used up in the cap.

Lens pens are all I use. EOTech have an anti-glare coating, much like most glasses, that will smear if you use the wrong cleaners. Lens pens are safe and fast!!!

Acetone, qtips, kleenex, and compressed air for USO scopes. They say not to use water. Not sure if this is good for all scopes though.

I changed to the ziess stuff in the little pump sray bottles. Use a lense pen first to brush off the bigger stuff then q tips and the ziess stuff
