After struggling with various combinations of cotton balls, breath, canned air,
and rubbing alcohol pads, I am finally pretty satisfied with the Volk lens
cleaners.
In this order, I use
air, if that doesn't take care of it,
breath and cotton ball, then air. If that doesn't do it,
Volk lens cleaner, followed by breath and cotton ball, then air.
Have not had problems with compromise on lense quality following this protocol.
