Any recommendations?
I have just run out of what i purchased from Jesops last and the fluid drys a tad streaky so looking for something new.
Thought id use this site to its advantages and be lazy to see what you all use
Eclipse lens cleaning fluid and Pec pads. Excellent combination. A rocket blower is also needed.

I've got a Giotto rocket blower, and it works really well.

Don't use Eclipse - it's expensive methanol which is a great solvent for sensors but overkill for cleaning lenses.
Almost all dedicated lens cleaning solutions are am mix of water and isopropyl alcohol. You can buy 500ml of ther latter for less than a tenner. The former can be got for free.
Just mix the IPA 1:1 with water and you've got a lifetime's supply of lens cleaner for less than the price of 10ml of Eclipse.

Lenspen for me, they do a flatter one for cleaning filters too.
