[QUOTE="tulku, post: 145536, member: 5203"] I use filtered Nitrogen ( comes in a spray can ) to knock off any Particles . Now don't laugh ....but I prefer breathing ( my breath is CP Grade [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] ) on the optics and wiping very gently with the best Grade of optical Cloth you can find . It is very hard to find this Cloth now , but I bought a lifetime supply from one of the Chemical Supply Houses like Fisher ...many years ago . The best cleaning liquid I found was 190 Proof Ethanol ; however, I no longer work where I have a Federal License to get the stuff , so I use Isopropyl 70% ....yep , Rubbing alcohol from Wallyworld . For some applications you can spend a bit more and get 90% . Now if you want really clean Glass , you can use an Ethanol Degreaser assuming your coatings can take the Temps .
