I usually clean my lenses with my 3800 psi pressure washer. Works like a charm....
:crackup:
That may be the only way to get this damn clay out of my lens.:thinking:

I heard that your body is a very good lens cleaner, just swallow the lens and drink plenty of water. Then wait a good 24 hours and bam it will come out a little dirty but just wash it off with water and it is super clean!
:toilet: Remember, you can reuse that clay....just be sure it's clay.

If you are cleaning plastic lenses and you down an old fashioned bottle of Kaopectate which contains natural Kaolin, a very fine grained mineral clay, it will actually accu-polish out any scratches at the same time.
I just clean my lenses in a concentrated solution of Chlorine Tri-fluoride. Absolutely nothing stays on the lens after a good soak in that stuff. Can use it for everything from removing corrosion, stripping anodization, stripping off oxide layers and getting rid of unwanted residue.
After all this sarcasm, is that an actual way to do it?Anyone who has ever done work with fiber optics knows how easy it is to get an optic dirty and and quick. Although their need for a clean junction far exceeds ours, it takes 99.9 % isopropanol and special lint free cleaning papers to do the job. Always use lens tissue with a solvent, because dry lens tissue can scratch optical surfaces. A good solvent to use is a mix of 60% acetone† and 40% methanol. (Acetone alone dries too quickly to dissolve all of the debris.
The methanol slows the evaporation time, and also dissolves debris that acetone alone would not clean.) Isopropyl alcohol is safe and effective, but its relatively slow evaporation can leave drying marks on the optic. Cleaning your optic's edges before cleaning its faces prevents dirt from being drawn up onto the face. Wiping slowly allows the solvent to evaporate without streaking.
Damn right.. Its the way I do it..After all this sarcasm, is that an actual way to do it?
Then guess who just screenshotted that for future reference?!!! :thanks:Damn right.. Its the way I do it..
Alaskan even threw in the whys...
