Three Components, One Cleaning System
The Ballistol Optics Cleaning Set is built around a structured cleaning process. First, loose dust and abrasive particles are removed with the soft goat-hair brush. Then the optics cleaner helps dissolve fingerprints, oils and fine residues. Finally, the microfibre cloth polishes the surface for a clear, streak-free finish.
This step-by-step approach reduces the risk of scratching sensitive optical coatings and helps keep valuable equipment ready for use.
Ballistol Optics Cleaner 30 ml
The included Ballistol Optics Cleaner is supplied in a practical 30 ml pump spray bottle. It is designed for residue-free cleaning of optical surfaces and can be used on both glass and plastic lenses.
The cleaner removes fingerprints, oils and fine dirt deposits and helps achieve a clear, streak-free result. According to the manufacturer, the formula was developed in cooperation with Leica Sport Optics.
Optics Cleaning Brush with Goat-Hair Bristles
Fine dust and hard particles are often the main cause of scratches on optical surfaces. The included optics brush is designed to remove these particles gently before liquid cleaning begins.
The brush uses fine natural goat hair and features a 3-stage mechanism. Shorter bristles can help loosen more persistent particles, while longer bristles provide especially gentle cleaning for sensitive surfaces.
Microfibre Optics Cloth
The included microfibre cloth measures approximately 15 × 15 cm and is designed for final polishing after using the optics cleaner. It helps remove remaining moisture and residues for a streak-free result.
The cloth is permanently attached to a small dirt-repellent mini pouch. When folded inside the pouch, it measures only approximately 4 × 5 × 1 cm. The integrated plastic carabiner allows easy attachment to a bag, belt loop or equipment pouch.
Robust Olive Storage Pouch
The set is supplied in a compact olive organiser pouch designed for outdoor use. It includes three compartments and two elastic loops to keep the cleaner and brush securely in place.
The pouch also provides additional space for small accessories such as spare batteries, cleaning pads or compact tools. It can be attached directly to PALS/MOLLE systems or worn on a belt, keeping the cleaning kit accessible without taking up unnecessary space.
