That cheap lens cleaning spray I swore was bogus (it works)
A guy I know from the local camera shop gave me a bottle of some generic lens cleaner he mixed himself. Looked like water with a hint of blue, smelled like cheap window cleaner. I laughed and shoved it in my junk drawer for like 8 months. Last week I had a stubborn smudge on a 50mm f1.4 that my regular wipes wouldn't touch. Figured I'd give that mystery spray a shot just to prove it was useless. One spritz on a clean microfiber cloth and that oil spot was gone in two swipes. No streaks, no haze, nothing. I still don't know what's in it but I'm embarrassed I ignored it for so long. Anybody else have a weird DIY solution that turned out better than the store stuff?
