How does everyone here clean your optics? I did my annual PVS-14 cleaning and did the usual rinse with distilled water and then cleaned the lenses with 99% isopropyl and cotton balls and blew off with compressed air.
Also cleaned some telescope eyepieces too using the same process but no rinse. Is this the best way for me to be doing this? What about other optics like red dots and thermal sights?
Thank you,
Dan

- I would assume most of you are using alcohol right? Isopropyl or ethanol? What percentage? 70% 99% or something else?
- What are you using for a cloth? Clean cotton? Cotton balls?
- What’s is your basic cleaning procedure?
- Anything special precautions I should be taking with germanium lens on a thermal sight or on my PVS-14?
Thank you,
Dan
