Cleaning refractor lenses

Picked up an old refractor yesterday, but it has promise. Lenses are great, BUT...

Between the 2 objectives, there is a foggy layer with lint - so someone has cleaned it.

I tried water and a little Sunlight dishsoap,but not much better. Seems like a fine machine oil or something over the lens. Was thinking trying isopropyl alcohol swabs/swipes?

How do they get an immaculate interface between lenses in the factory?
