Wasted $60 on a lens cleaning kit that did more harm than good

Last month I grabbed one of those all-in-one lens cleaning kits from a well-known online store. It had a spray bottle, some microfiber cloths, and a brush. First time I used it on an old 50mm f1.4, the spray left weird streaks and the brush actually scratched the coating. I ended up paying a local shop $40 to fix the damage. From now on I stick to just a blower and a specific brand of lens wipes. Has anyone else had bad luck with those multi-piece kits?

Bought a similar kit once and the brush shed bristles all over my sensor.
