The following info. was taken from the Sky & Telescope magazine site. - ----- Peel Away Dirt Shirtsleeves have never been on the list of approved cleaning materials for optics, but that hasn't stopped amateurs from using them to remove dirt and finger smudges from eyepieces and camera lenses. The financial consequences of this risky practice were minimal in the days of $XX Ramsden eyepieces, but not so with some of today's oculars costing hundreds of dollars. For those seeking better ways to clean delicate optical components, including first-surface mirrors, there's Opti-clean Polymer. Brush on this clear liquid, let it dry for a few minutes, then peel away the coating with the aid of a sticky tab to remove dirt and deposits down to the molecular level. The $XX kit contains enough material to clean hundreds of lenses.
