Hello! Just got my DC1 viewfinder from MPB and there is a large fingerprint on the glass/plastic viewfinder portion. In good shape except for the fingerprint.

What’s the best way to clean the print off? My idea is the Zeiss wipes since they are dirt free. Thanks, Dave

For that I use Q-tips (cotton buds in the rest of the world) and breathing on it to get some vapor on it first. Buds are cheap, so use one to lightly pull off any grit or dust, then a clean one or two more to polish it. The buds are great as they get in corners really well.

If you plan to use both ends of the bud, on two-tipped buds, be sure not to get your fingers or hand on the other end as you are using the first end. If you get your finger on the other end, then don't use the other end but throw the bud away.
