I'll also add those cd cleaning wipes you can get. Typically, in any music shop, they are individually wrapped, 10 in a box, and last the one wipe. They are an IPA solution. Work for me on my optics and cd's.

Yeah, know what you mean! I also ordered a bottle of IPA at my local pharmacy and it took about 3 days to arrive, and the pharmacist did need some convincing that it was for lens cleaning.
(500ml for a tenner).


Apparently, some serious alcoholics do drink this stuff, it leads to blindness and eventually an early end. :shock:

So if you feel a little light headed after cleaning your optics with this stuff, now you know why. :lol:
