Oh no, I use alcohol nearly all the time and it works wonders On most lenses but I buff them off with new q-tips or a soft Cloth to perfection after using the alcohol. What I am having Trouble with is the buffing stage on SOME non pentax multicoatings. It just doesn't want to get clean no matter how I try. jco

Thanks in advance. I share your pain and am somewhat surprised that you have found the "solution" a long time ago. My experience is that the solution was never a solution. Whenever I experimented with solution, be it home-made or Kodak or otherwise, it always seem to leave streaks. So far, I have been using "microfibre" cloth which cleanly wipe out everything without any trace of anything. It's probably kind to the coating too. Ken BTW, your capital letters on each line give me hiccups, so 7 hiccups in 20 seconds.
