Re: [ATM] optics cleaner

Both Collodion and OptiClean leave pieces though I found OptiClean to be easier
to remove on large surfaces. (use kimwipes not cheese cloth on difficult
cleanings). The trick to polymer cleaners is washing all the 'water soluble'
stuff off first (water spots, dew streaks), as they only remove organic material
and particles. Spray on DI water, soap, DI rinse, I can't over emphasize the use
of DI water.

For DI water see; http://crspotless.com (GOING SERIOUSLY OT) I use this to rinse
my car then apply Zaino Z2 Pro http://www.zainostore.com/ , this stuff is the
most amazing car polish system I've ever seen, 1/2 oz will do my SUV.

I have used OptiClean polymer optics cleaner. I got it many years ago at
RTMC, but haven't seen it for sale at RTMC since. OptiClean worked well but
was sometime difficult to remove without leaving pieces, similar to USP
Collodion. I found it is best to put down a layer of cheesecloth and cover
the cheesecloth with USP collodion. That way the solid collodion comes off
in one piece. USP collodion is available in 500ml size from Fisher
Scientific.
