Get the grit off first, then clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove loose grit with a blower bulb or a soft lens brush. On waterproof binoculars and scopes you can rinse mud off with clean water first.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpray one or two pumps of Optics Cleaner onto a clean microfibre cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe the lens gently in a spiral from the centre outwards, with very light pressure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolish with a dry part of the cloth until the lens is clear. Repeat once if smears remain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkip tissues, kitchen roll and shirt sleeves: they leave fibres and can drag grit across the coating. Wash the microfibre cloth now and then, without fabric conditioner, which leaves a film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you stop glasses and scopes steaming up?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlasses and scope lenses mist up when they move from cold air into a warm car, house or hide. After cleaning, polish the Optics Cleaner in with a dry cloth rather than wiping it straight off: that leaves a thin anti-fog film, so the lens mists less. Reapply when fogging starts to come back. It works best on a lens that is clean and dry to start with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to tell it worked\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHold the lens up to a window or a bright light at an angle. A clean lens shows no rainbow smears, streaks or fingerprint outlines. If you still see a haze, the cloth is probably dirty: switch to a clean part of it and polish again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSafety\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighly flammable liquid and vapour. Keep away from heat, sparks and naked flames, and use in a well-ventilated area. Causes serious eye irritation, and the vapour may cause drowsiness or dizziness. Do not spray towards your face or anyone else's, and keep out of reach of children.

Spray it onto a microfibre cloth rather than the lens so no liquid runs behind the front element, then wipe from the centre outwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it safe on plastic and coated glasses lenses?\u003c\/strong\u003e Ballistol Optics Cleaner is suitable for plastic lenses and was developed with Leica Sport Optics for high-quality, coated optics. If your optician has given you care instructions for a special coating, follow those.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan you use optics cleaner on a telescope?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, on the objective lens of a refracting telescope, on eyepieces and on finder scopes, applied with a cloth. Do not wipe the mirrors of a reflecting telescope, as their front-surface coating scratches easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes lens cleaner stop glasses steaming up?\u003c\/strong\u003e Polishing Ballistol Optics Cleaner in with a dry cloth leaves an anti-fog film, so glasses and scope lenses mist up less when you come in from the cold. Reapply when the fogging comes back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy not just use household glass cleaner on glasses?\u003c\/strong\u003e Household glass cleaner is made for windows, not optical coatings, and tends to streak on lenses. A dedicated optics cleaner on a microfibre cloth cleans the lens and evaporates without leaving marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-guide-link=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGuides:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ballistol.co.uk\/pages\/rifle-scope-cleaning\"\u003eHow to clean a rifle scope and binoculars\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ARC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64260093772106,"sku":null,"price":6.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/7358\/7018\/files\/OpticsCleaner.webp?v=1793998233","url":"https:\/\/arcaccessories.co.uk\/products\/optics-lens-cleaner-spray-30ml","provider":"ARC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
