TANFARM Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I can’t find the thread about folks having problems keeping RTS2 optic glass clean....my last experience. I read all the suggestions about blowback on the front glass. Even called C-more and a very helpful young man suggested Hoppes solvent on a Qtip. To no avail , tried Windex, my Zeiss cleaning pads...nothing worked. This afternoon I tried some Fine Glass Polish from Griots Garage I used for show cars.....BAM !!.....took every trace of distortion off the glass. I used fine Q tips and removed all the polish...then put 2 coats of old fashioned Glass Wax on both sides. This glass is a good as new. I thought I would pass this solution on...was getting a little frustrating.....Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_Seehawer Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I just use q-tips and vinegar. Hopefully the wax on there helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same problem with my TruBor for years, until I switched to Brian's Slide-Glide. NOW, no more "blowback on the front glass" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrispies Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Clean from what? Carbon fouling from a nearby comp, or just clean from... life? I use a Nikon lens pen that I bought for cheap on Amazon and can't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abb1 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I just use glass wipes that I got at Costco. They work fine and no issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumprun13k Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Most of the time I just use glass wipes, but every once in a while I go through and use vinegar and q-tips to thoroughly clean the lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneexies Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Where can I find the glass wipes at Costco? I assume the optometry/glasses area towards the front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TANFARM Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Order the Zeiss optic wipes from Amazon...they are excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corny Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 A little CLR in distilled water in a small spray bottle cleans every bit of carbon off of the glass. Q Tip or lens cloth works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneexies Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Found the glass wipes at Costco in the medicine area. 9 bucks for three big boxes. Works great on glass and shooting lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S&W686 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I am pretty much like the rest. I use the same glass cleaner and wipes I use for my reading glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwagner24 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 +1 for CLR been using for years. Rain x after cleaning seems to make it easier to wipe clean during a match with a micro fiber towel also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funflyr Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Vinegar and a q-tip or the zeiss wipes what ever I can find at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiroshi Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I'm pretty sure every household has this product, try using WD-40, just spray it on a qtip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posvar Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 WD40 works well but make sure you wipe off any residue with a proper cloth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
