Residual Oil Remover, or simply ROR, establishes a new definition of what a 'clean' surface is. The first application of ROR often results in an amazing 'wow' factor for the user; sometimes it's hard to believe what comes off the surface being cleaned.
ROR has redefined the science of lens-care by utilizing a formula of natural ingredients that eradicates the counterproductive microscopic oil residues from the surface and pores of glass and plastic. On camera lenses, LCD screens, flat-panel TV's, cell-phones iPods and more - ROR cuts through, breaks down, and allows the removal of all those performance debilitating smudges and smears. Once those oily residues are eliminated, dust, dirt, and pollen particles have nothing to cling to; this enables the sparkling clean surface to remain cleaner for a longer period of time.
ROR has been tested and proven to be safe to use on most delicate and precious surfaces; from multicoated lenses to beryllium-surfaced contacts, ROR has proven itself to be one of the finest and safest lens treatments available.
ROR can be applied with an untreated micro-fiber cloth or untreated disposable wipes. When using a micro-fiber cloth, it is advisable to wash it out regularly in a mild soap solution that is free of additives or softeners. Washing the micro-fiber cloth before using it with ROR ensures a neutral starting point for a successful cleaning session.
The surface to be cleaned must be moistened with ROR prior to wiping; it should be applied to the task-wiper first - not directly on the lens or surface. This prevents pools of liquid from going where it's not supposed to, while conserving the solution. Gently blotting the surface to be cleaned with a moistened cloth or wipe will allow the solution to work into the layers of build-up, facilitating its safe and complete removal. A clean area of the cloth, or a new wipe, should be used for the final cleaning stages.
When cleaning a well-loved lens with ROR for the first time, several applications and wipes may be needed to remove the multi-layer build-up of oils, pollution, and dirt.
Note! Not recommended for use on focusing screens, CCD/CMOS sensors, or internal aliasing filters
- Safely cleans lenses, scanners, LCD screens, optics, TVs, iPods, etc

[...]I also bought some lens tissue.When I tried it I could not believe how it improved the optical clarity of the lenses. It was like my lenses were brand new again!I also tried using it on my computer monitors, LCD screens and even my eyeglasses. This is just amazing stuff and makes it look like new again by deep cleaning and removing all of the dirt and grime. Highly recommended!

As a 20 yr. pro-photo and labtech, I've tried using this for over 12 yrs over 99% Isopropyl as an alternate and it has left a smear each time which needed a cleanup with Isopropyl. It does remover residue but leaves a smear. To get my lenses lab clean, I use straight 91-99% Isopropyl with real cotton swabs and a gentle hand.
After cleaning, use a bright pen-light at 45̊ to inspect the lens surface. Best to protect and prevent lens from debris (use a fine hair brush and canned air) then to be frequently cleaning them as the delicate multi-coating will suffer. Never keep lenses in a camera bag for prolong periods as any moisture will settle in the lens and grow mold. Instead; have a dust/moisture free airy storage place or use Pelican type (sealed) cases with silica inside (my preferred method) for the case has a double use of water protection on expeditions.

Comments about ROR Residual Oil Remover:
Have used this for years. There is a stark difference in the glass when cleaned with this as opposed to conventional lens cleaners. Cleaned a filter that I was about to throw away because it appeared cloudy. After cleaning with this it looked like new. Wonderful for eye glasses, too! You'll think your vision has just become more acute!

Comments about ROR Residual Oil Remover:
I used this on my friend's lens, and it brought impressive results. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars was because there's a chance of it leaving a residue on filters or lenses, which can only be avoided if it's wiped a certain way.

Comments about ROR Residual Oil Remover:
I have used many different types of cleaning solutions on my lenses. After reading about ROR, I decided to give it a try. This is the cleanist I have ever gotten my lenses and it only takes a very small amount. I also use it regularly on my glasses as I have a tendency to take them off and on especially when I am taking pictures. Try it, you'll like it!

Comments about ROR Residual Oil Remover:
One of my lenses got a grease spot on it somehow...lotion, lids, dog? or something or someone. Nothing got rid of the soft streaks on it. But one application and polish with this stuff, and the lens is perfect. How have I been a photographer for all these years and never known about ROR? it is amazing. I have used it on every lens I own, and they all look great.
