My NIKON edg had some sap on the lens so I tried to clean it with a ZEISS cloth. It didn't work. I broke out my free SWARO lense wipe that came with my glass. It removed the sap, but streaked a little so I had to use the cloth again.

SWARO wipes are not easy to come by but they seem to work as good as the readily available ZEISS wipes. Both seem to streak though.

The SWARO wipe smelled better than the Zeiss though. They add a bit of freshner to cover the alcohol smell up.

Do you uses wipes and if so do you like them?

Yes i use them but i finish with microfiber! I use the wipes for keeping the exterior of the bin clean as well, works wonderfully and they are cheap! :-) Bryce...

I guess you have to wait until these dry out some to finish. That is what I do. Seems to work.

One day my car was covered with sap from a Magnolia tree. The 5mm translucent gobs of goo couldn't be removed with paint thinner, alcohol, turps, or anything else I could find in the garage. It was a mess.

Late in the afternoon a light rain began, and like magic the sap melted away. It was water soluble !!

I saw something like that in a Science Fiction movie. Can't remember the name of it though.

I use Zeiss wipes regularly and keep one in my wallet for "emergencies" in the woods like zapping sap. A while ago, a young checkout girl saw it in my wallet when I took out my money to pay for the groceries, and she smirked at me. It didn't hit me until half way to the car that she thought the square foil envelop contained something else. :-)

Rather than rubbing hard with the Zeiss wipes or microfiber cloth for stubborn stains, try ROR (Residual Oil Remover):

Not aware if this is well known - if so then sorry to repeat. I have found it works really well. Several kinds of oily smears on a lens can gently and neatly be removed by using a bit of toilet paper - much better than other widely available kinds of paper wipes - applied with just water, then - if necessary - dry. (I cannot figure it out - dry wiping does not work, and some of the stuff is not water soluble - maybe the water "edges in" between that and the lens coating?)

I use them on my eye glasses most of the time and they seem to work well.
