I clean L glass and other glass the same way:
Some Eclipse fluid on a Pec-Pad. The Eclipse fluid (methanol)

But I seldom clean lenses, since minor dirt spots have no visible effect
on my images.
Really? I have found Eclipse to be absolutely terrible with lenses - it evaporates too quick to be useful and leaves strange smears behind. Don\'t ask me how / why. I have found lens cleaning fluid, which specifically evaporates more slowly, much more useful.
Then again I may be doing something wrong, as most often I\'ll breathe and use a microfiber cloth
Interesting. Well, I admit I have to act quickly before the fluid evaporates, but it seems to work well for me.
I don\'t have steaking problems with it.
Another good product is Formula MC cleaning fluid. Sold in many camera stores.
You have me curious about the Eclipse now. I think I\'ll go clean a lens again.
