Has anyone tried either of the ALG Go-Juice products (original Go-Juice or the 0000 Very Thin Grease) to protect a pistol light lens from tough burned on carbon deposits? Since the 0000 is supposed to be like a grease, I was wondering if it wouldn't be suitable for keeping a thin protective layer on a weapon light lens? Any other recommended products for this?
If lens is polycarbonate or any kind of plastic, Plexus is a great cleaner/protectant/polish.
Thanks. The lenses I am looking at are glass.Quote:

On the one light I shot before I started using chapstick (original Inforce WML) I used a pencil eraser to remove most of the carbon from the lens.
You also can buy a Butler creek clear scope cap and put it on temporarily when you go to the range. Sizes are as follows:

If carbon bakes on, rub some toothpaste on the bezel and it comes right off.
Been using the Go-Juice on my TLR 1 lens for several years now. Great barrier, but also works really well as a cleaner to remove carbon with no negative effect to the lens.
Thx, Ill give it a try.Quote:

Its been said a few times now, but I have always just used chapstick. Its cheap, effective, and I usually always have it on me.
