What should I use to clean my googles?

I have 509 sinisters and wondering what kind of chemical you use to clean them I thought about glasses wipes but hesitated are those ok?

I didn't no if it would effect the finish or the anti-fog coating

Damp cloth works well. If it's greasy, a little vinegar or rubbing alcohol on the cloth helps. Don't use Windex (amonia based) products as the lens will frost over big time with breath moisture and cold.

I always keep a small cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol in a ziplock sandwich bag on the sled for removing frost build-up on the trail. The rubbing alcohol doesn't freeze and the cloth remains damp as long as the bag is sealed

use a spray meant for lense cleaning, otherwise you risk removing the anti-fog coating... Best I've found is the paintball mask cleaning stuff. The lenses are basically the same material, and its cheap. (cleaning pretty much every round in paintball!)

(should be able to find it locally at any sporting goods store that sells paintball. Even walmart most likely has it, depending on area.

If the lenses aren't too bad, I just use a little cat crap.

nothing better than mild dish soap and a soft cloth, depending on how dirty.

i prefer pledge and a soft cloth for mild touch ups. pledge does wonders for small scratches and aids in the anti fog capabilities.
