This demonstration highlights a practical, step-by-step process for cleaning the lenses of a Trijicon RMR. The emphasis is on simplicity and effectiveness, showcasing various products and methods to maintain the clarity of your optics without compromising the lens coatings.
Step-by-Step Explanation
The process begins with using compressed air to clear off any large debris, which is key in preventing scratches when you transition to cleaning solutions. The choice of cleaner can significantly impact the longevity and performance of your optic. In this case, an Oakley lens cleaner is utilized, which behaves well with the coatings on RMRs. Using Q-tips helps to reach every corner of the lens while minimizing the risk of cross-contamination by dedicating different swabs for the front and rear lenses.
After the glass is free from dust and debris, applying an anti-fog solution like 'Cat Crap' further enhances visibility and protection against future pollution. This step is especially useful for those who often encounter changing weather conditions that can lead to fogging during operation.
Key Tips
- Always start with compressed air to avoid scratching the lens.
- Choose cleaning solutions designed for optics to maintain integrity.
- Consider using anti-fog products to increase visibility during extreme conditions.
- Protect the RMR lens during cleaning processes to further reduce dirt accumulation.
