Can anyone tell me if cleaning your glasses with a lens wipe - but one that contains alcohol is ok to use for cleaning glasses that have a anti reflective coating on them? Thanks.

Generally speaking, I run my glasses under cold water to get the big stuff off, then use a microfiber towel (or one of those socks that comes with glasses like my gatorz, oakleys and liquids) That usually gets rid of everything pretty well... I try to stay away from the tech wipes.

You might not ruin your glasses with one alcoholic wipe, but I wouldn't make a habit of it. You're not supposed to use anything like your shirt either. Wal-Mart sells a cheap package that includes some spray and a wipe that comes in quite handy for me.

I used to work as a tech is an optical lab making lenses and was taught that the best way to clean them was to run them under the tap, gently rub dawn dish washing detergent on them with your fingers, rinse, and dry them with a cotton cloth that has not had fabric softener on it.
Don't use paper towels or cleanex.

I have a couple of those walmart wipes. All that is needed is a couple long hot breaths and wipe. :P

You're pretty proud of the ability to get the job done after a few hot breaths and a couple wipes... aren't ya?

I heard Divot had an extra couple of bucks . . . maybe you could service him again.
