Question: I overspray clear on my magnifying glass, any idea to clean off the lens to save my magnifying glass

Clean with iso propyl alcohol and very soft cloth for glasses.
Polish?! The amount of time you might as well buy new pair.

Do you have a local "Dollar Store" -- everything a dollar ?
Buy your cheater glasses there.

the reading glass pictured are dollar store.

The Magnifying Glass are not. I got them at Michael's craft store. For more that a dollar!

The read glass did not get sprayed with clear. They are just fingerprint dirty...

Found a good pair at Valve Village then broke off an arm Darn....

Another pair of cheap dollarrama glass...can't seem to get the lens clean!

I’ve always used T-Cut Original for cleaning overspray off my ready readers, and it also works wonders on Mr. Color clear lacquer too. Word of warning though, use a specific spectacles cleaning cloth with VERY light pressure for best results.

I suppose Brasso would work too?

Sorry Bill I should have been clearer I just meant normal dirty glasses this time, fingerprints etc... But will keep your tips in mind for modelling accidents....
