Daz Type-R Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 +1 for Baader Wonder fluid, just bought some myself, did a fantastic job of getting my eye piece clean. Link for the fluid from FLO.... https://www.firstlightoptics.com/astronomy-optics-cleaning-protection/baader-optical-wonder-fluid.html I also purchased the cloth. Tip, do not spray the EP directly, instead spray the cloth and then wipe the EP. tuckstar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Bino-viewer Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 +1 from me for the B.O.W.F I had a couple of fingerprints on mine, but it removed them no bother. I sprayed my eyepieces directly. But theres a train of thought that suggests its better to spray the cloth, then clean with that, due to a chance that some of the fluid can ingress down the sides of the optics. Maybe that happened to me. Indeed the session immediately the cleaning, the eyepieces did smell of the fluid somewhat. But it does evaporate away....?
