I does take a stiff upper lip to paint on a solution ( onto to a C11 Edge ) but one application removed every thing from the glass that shouldn't be there. no runny liquids on the telescope no drama it just worked.

It obviously isn't a no contact option but I'm a very happy user.

Ed - another on. 8-)
Ed,

Looked at Photonic Cleaning Tech, very interesting! It looks like something I'd able to use. I'm prone to smudging lens, optics generally, won't bore you with the reasons, but it's unavoidable.
After trying the steam cleaner (ordered ETA Monday) if the process and results aren't what I'd been expecting, definately give your recommendation a go.
Need a solution for my shakey shenanigans!
Cheers
