Oakley Cleaning Kit

[cbaillargeon]

So cleaning your lenses with 70% alcohol is not a good idea?

Only asking because I read an online article about uses for rubbing alcohol and it mentioned cleaning your lenses with it ...

I think there is just a disconnect with the general public and o-wearers on this. Tons of companies make lint-free smear-free alcohol wipes for glass/polycarbonate lenses and electronics, but allegedly these wipes (or anything containing a significant amount of rubbing alcohol for that matter) can damage the various types of coatings that Oakley puts on their lenses. That being said I have used these types of wipes on a couple pairs of daily glasses for years now and not had any sort of issue.

Thanks for your input - appreciate it ...
