Help cleaning RMR Lens

[Eurodriver]

I was shooting with NV a while back. I probably shot 400 rounds suppressed of Speer 147gr Lawman through my G19 w/ RMR on top.

I was using the Surefire X400V IR laser so I wasn't looking through the RMR and didn't see how dirty it was until I got home when it looked like this.



I sprayed it with alcohol-free glass cleaner and lightly wiped it with a microfiber towel. I then used a Trijicon lens pen to get the edges. It still looks bad and is not 100% clear, especially around the edges. I'll try to get an updated pic of it up tomorrow.

Anyone have any tips for what to do in this situation?

I believe people use toothpaste to clean WML lenses, maybe give that a shot?

Man, that is some serious crud. I wonder if something like Vortex anti-fog lens cleaner might help in future. The ani-fog is supposed to last 7 days. Might be a decent release agent between the lens and crud. Another idea would be Rain-X. I’be chicken to try anything abrasive with that much grit until last resort.

Break Free...just kidding don’t do that.

I would try the toothpaste, and then use a dishwasher glass cleaner like Finish, same I do to my flashlights. That normally gets them damn near perfect.

I’ve never tried it on anything with a coated lens so I would be hesitate, depends on how desperate you are.

Holster up and take a shower. Resist the urge to be a naked gunslinger. The floor is slippery.

Google pencil eraser cleaning lens. Lots of gun guys reference it working well on various forms. My buddies at Surefire turned me on to it. Works good for me.

Silicon grease to prevent.
Soak in Fireclean to remove (seriously, it's the best carbon slayer I've found that isn't "hostile"...chemically.)

Toothpaste is abrasive. I wouldnt do that, personally. I use mpro 7 and qtips, but never had it that bad.

I just want to say bravo for getting it that dirty.

Ask trijicon and send them a pic lol

This is why the Meprolight MicroRDS is better. QD mount baby.
