Hello this is Rob Rubin and you're watching Expert Village. Now that you have the lens actually separated from the frame you can clean the lens. One of the best ways I've found to do this is that you can get a paper towel that is damp, not soaking wet but damp and you just wipe off the lens. The thermal layer of the lens, the inside layer of the lens, is a lot more fragile than the outside so you want to be a lot more careful when washing the inside. You can do it, you can use a soft paper towel or even better yet a nice soft toilet paper works very good but you don't want to leave water spots on the inside lens because it will damage the inside lens so be extra careful on the inside and on the outside, one good wipe and you are good to go. Something else you can do is take your damp paper towel and work it on the inside of the frame as such. The reason you want to do that is you want to take the paint residue away from the inside of the frame because it really does you no good to clean the lens and then put it right back into a nasty gunky lens frame like this. So make sure you clean the inside lens as well right on the inside of the track. It will be good. Now that you have your lenses washed off now you need to dry them. That's why the towel comes in hand here and you can just wipe it off and you're good to go. If you don't have a towel that you're working on, a dry paper towel, or something soft will work. When you're cleaning off the underside if you have gotten any water on the inner lens, be very very gentle. It scratches easy so be very cautious when you are cleaning out the inside. Since you have the lenses off it is a good chance for you to inspect the gear itself. You want to make sure there are no pock marks, no scratches on it, there are no stress marks of any kind on it. This is something you want to do because if there are any stress marks or pock marks in it, you really don't want to put it back in, you really want to buy new lenses and put a new one in at this point. Just a word of advice, if you can't remember the last time you bought new lenses, then you probably need to buy new lenses for your goggles.
