Pencil Eraser

The X300 on my 226 looks as good as new.

Knife works fine in a pinch.

I followed a tip from John_Wayne777, and applied a light coat of Meguiars car wax to the front of the lens, prior to shooting.

Clean up is really easy, even with WWB, UMC or the cheap Federal 9mm ball ammo from Wally World, and that's pretty dirty stuff. The soot just wipes off.

Before that I used Windex and paper towels, but this takes a lot less elbow grease.

Yep, that and the toothpaste. Both abrasive enough to get rid of surface scut without damaging that kind of glass. The ones on #2 pencils also work very well if you ever need to clean light surface corrosion from battery leads inside a compartment.

Rain-X, Cat Crap (not actual feline poo, you sick jerks, this: http://www.campmor.com/cat-crap-anti...s-_-Primary-_-), diluted diswashing detergent or other liquid soap...anything non-caustic that puts an extra floating layer over the glass.

I've used Cat Crap on goggles, will have to give it a try on the weapon light. Thanks for the info.

I use a microfiber with some alcohol on it, but I generally don't let it wait more than a few hundred rounds. It is simple enough for me to get a corner of the cloth wet and wipe it down. For nasty build up, I will second the pencil eraser, works very well.
