Hey guys, so on every other optic I own I use zeiss wipes to clean them after blowing off any particles and they work amazing. I have never had an issue. Holosun instructions state not to use alcohol or acetone on their optics. Zeiss wipes contain 70% isopropyl alcohol and they claim it is safe on all lenses. They do not contain ammonia which is notoriously not safe on coated lenses.

Nothing I have tried on my 507k cleans as well as the zeiss wipes do my other optics. So I am curious has anyone gone against holosuns instructions and used them on their optics. If so have you had any issues with it? I just don't see how they can be safe for every other optic but not holosuns. I am wondering if holosun is just being overly cautious by the blanket statement of no alcohol.

So what do you guys think?

Yea I haven't been able to find a definitive answer at all. I use them on everything else with no issue. I emailed holosun and they just gave me the generic no alcohol or acetone response form the manual. I have been using CATCRAP which works well but not as well as zeiss wipes on other optics of mine. One guy in this same thread I posted on sigtalk mentioned using oakley cleaner on his. He said it doesn't contain alcohol but form my research it is 5% isopropyl alcohol by volume but ammonia free. Zeiss also contains isopropyl but I don't know how much and is ammonia free. I bet it's probably fine but I'm not brave enough to find out lol
