My eyeglass are dirty - brillo pads or emery boards to clean 'em?
Combination of the two?

Maybe some Alabama whetstone?

SOS pads?

I've never been good at getting my eyeglasses really good and clean, and I want to do it totally right this time.

20. Pledge!
No foolin! fills in some of the finer scratches, keeps crap from stickin' to 'em as bad. Thanks to Bill Alsup - Indy car racer, POMA lift's first distributor in America, and one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.
