ROR -- Residual Oil Remover -- I'm looking at my 1 ounce plastic bottle
Designed Specifically For All Photgraphic Lenses.
Adds Significant Light Entry,
Clarity And is Anti-Static.

ROR removes surface oil residues (pollution) that are ineradicable with
ordinary cleaning procedures

Use mimimal amount. Apply with tissue. Remove with lens tissue.

I purchased a bottle at Samy's Camera in Los Angeles and I have used it
on my filters, some lenses, and a telescope.  It does help to remove the last
traces of Pond's Cold Cream that is left after 95 0.000000E+00thanol from the 
anti-mold
treatment which I tried out on my old Hoya 2X doubler that I'd dropped in a
stream while photographing water striders.

Anyway, I've found this thread quite interesting.  I am toying with the idea
of purchasing a microfiber cloth.  The commercially available colloidion lens
cleaner sounds like the best alternative.  I wonder if this is available at 
Samy's
in LA -- anybody know?
