Has anyone else had an issue with the Oakley lens cleaning solution causing streak marks on their lenses? I use it all the time, and 99% of the time it works great.
However, the other day I picked up a pair of Romeo 2 from eBay. When I got them I noticed all sorts of crazy rainbow colored streak marks on the Gold Iridium lenses. I pulled out my Oakley lens cleaner and went through the usual cleaning routine. It did nothing. So I went to the mild soap and water method, and it cleaned up the lenses perfectly. After reinstalling the lenses in the frame, I gave them a spray with the Oakley lens cleaner, and it put the same exact streaky marks back onto the lens. I went back to soap and water, and the lenses were again streak free. I've only had this experience one other time, with a 24K Plate lens.
So what gives? In both instances, the lenses have been from glasses that I bought secondhand. Could it be something that the previous owner did to the lenses that's causing this to happen? Is there an issue with lens cleaner on certain older lenses? I'm stumped here.
