I actually did a bit of an experiment.

After doing a double round on each side (it was really grotty) and then finishing off with a dry microfibre cloth my corrector looks pristine again  I won't be ashamed to take it out in public now 
At this stage the jury is still out over which worked better for cleaning, the cotton or the microfibre. I did find the microfibre clothe easier to use though. One thing I did like about the fibre compared to the cotton was I din't have to keep changing the the clothe. I just refolded it to a new clean moist section. It also used much less fluid compared to the cotton balls. Also by folding it into a "long fold" I had more material to hold onto and therefore more control over it, plus there was less liklihood of pressing too hard. Using the cotton wool balls it was harder to judge when the ball was just touching and not too much pressure was being applied.
All in all I'm very happy with the end result.
BTW if you after the microfibre clothe. Get them from sunglasses stores or a chemist. I got 4 pieces, 2 from sunglasses stands, 1 from a chemist and one from a prescription glasses store. The glasses store was the only shop to charge me for the fibre, the others gave them to me  |
so did I lead you up the garden path
DID I help or waste your money?
the only thing is that the fibre wont really work on eyepieces except maybe 2" ones
