Polish pure spirit at 80% is probably the easiest to get without a
licence. though I'd probably use something sold as a lens cleaner,
Calotherm do a coated lens cleaner , Calocoat in an atomiser and bulk
bottles, smells like it's 2-Propanol (ispropyl alcohol) based,
probably with some additives like EDTA.
btw: the service guys used to clean our Olympus microscopes with
liberal amounts of Mr Sheen. probably not the optics though.
