John, I'm not sure if Mr Sheen is the best product for a scope. It leaves too much of an oily residue that will be picked up by fingers. I really wouldn't be applying any type of lubricant, wax or Mr Sheen, to any surface that isn't a bearing. Well cleaned, the truss poles of a collapsible scope is all the performance enhancement they should need. That's how they've been designed to work too.
