What are "cleaning marks"

Agree with @SiRacer420. There are those members who sit with a 10X loupe and turn the glasses slowly...and I completely get it but I'm not one of those collectors. Mine are to be used and if I screw them sideways due to being an idiot I can just source new lenses (Hopefully!) and call it a lesson learned. Don't mistake this for being neglectful or lazy, I am neither. But I don't get myself all wrapped up in everything staying pristine anymore. I want my gear to be as clean and well-maintained as possible, and I clean everything after every use...bikes, shoes, and guns included, but not to the point of tearing them down, scrubbing, and re-assembling.
I do understand those who dedicate themselves to maintaining a set (Or whole collection) of something and keeping it absolutely mint and untouched, though!

I hit things with sticks....
Ok so now you have to tell me more about the 10x loupe story. Sounds quite interesting
Dude sold a NIB Juliet, Ducati Carbon I think. Buyer gets it and tells him there's scratches in the lens. Seller is like WTF?! No way. Buyer says yeah man I used a 10x jewelers loupe to inspect them. Little scratches are there. This all happened on eBay. Seller makes a post about it asking if he's off his nut or if the buyer is just a tool. I think most people agreed that if you need a loupe to see it that it was ridiculous. I think he ended up giving the guy a partial refund. Not certain.
There are more details but that's the meat and potatoes of it.Similar threads
