cleaning astronomiks clip filters
Just got my new clip in Astronomiks clip filters. Could do with a clean.
Any recommendations how and what to clean them with.

I use Bintel's cleaning fluid for all cleaning jobs. Its awesome.
You'll need either those lens cleaning clothes from Microfibre or clean unscented tissues and a hurricane bulb blower to blow off little particles.
Do it under a bright light so you angle the filter in the light to see all the little lints pieces.
They blow off or wipe off. Most filters coatings seem fairly robust by the way but the glass can chip easily.
I would take them out on a table with something soft underneath the filters like a towel so if they fall they are safe.
Greg.

I always bugger this up. I always get a finger to make a print somewhere. I suggest you don rubber gloves before you start.
