Interesting you should mention "rubbing alcohol". For years I had
been buying those special eyeglass cleaning pads.
One day I just dabbed a bit of soft paper towel with the stuff, wet
my eyeglasses thoroughly (wiping a bit) and then dried them with the
other end of the paper towel. Best cleaning job ever, and the paper
towel can be used several times, using different corners.
I haven't tried that with my car windshield but I would bet it works
fine there, but there may be some wax there so it would take a bit more work.
Haven't tried that with photo lenses, and don't plan to.
I usually buy two bottles of the stuff when it's on sale at 2 for 99 cents.
