Lens Cleaning

[E-X-E]

I ordered some lens cleaning fluid and cloth from internet…and it messed up my lens even more (I dont think the fluid is pure and the cloth is a big rough)
Is there a good store that can do this for me?
Also, I can get some MICROSCOPE cleaning paper and 100% distilled water, will that work?
this is really frustrating, i dont want to mess with my lens too much as i dont want to scratch the coating
How tough are coating for new cameras?

OH MY GOD! I USED THE EXACT SAME THING
the lens cleaning fluid they carry contains oil based chemicals or unpure

I used the fluid for microscope lens and it worked much better

Just get a lens pen (about 10 bucks from your local camera store) and some pec pads. Use the brush end to wipe off actual dust and particles FIRST and the other end to rub out smudges/fingerprints/etc afterwards. Then you can use the pec pads to wipe the lens free of the swirlies that the lens pen tends to leave.

Well, here is the story
After that lens fluid totally messed up my lens, I went to my fathers research lab and got some of his pure ethanol, methanol and distilled water. Then I tear out one of those lens cleaning paper for microscope, and socked the torn edge in to the mixture. Then I carefully wiped the lens with it. It worked really well but the whole process was frustrating …and it happened all because I order this

along with my camera. IT is the worst product you can buy for your camera
if you want to clean your lens, just use 90% ethanol, nothing out there works better

I am very MAD after seeing this and knowing that im not the only victim, and that this product is still on the store shelf labeled as “Top quality lens cleaning fluid containing 30cc of formulated solution that will remove dirt and dust by eliminating static”

OH, and the cloth that came with it was dirty and unusable itself.
