Jacques Marie Mage - Wolves, Obnoxious Acetate and The American Dream

Sorry for posting in this thread, but I saw it’s the most active one, and I hope someone here can give their opinion.

I recently bought a pair of Matsuda M3023-SG sunglasses and noticed something unusual when cleaning the lenses.

The lenses are made of CR39 material with a gradual tint. When I clean them with a microfiber cloth and Zeiss Lens Cleaning Spray, I see a faint yellow-brownish residue on the cloth. However, there is no visible damage to the lenses themselves.

I’m wondering if this is just leftover residue from the manufacturing process since the glasses are new, if this is harmless staining, or if it could be a sign that the tint or coating is damaged by the cleaning product.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Should I just go back to the time-tested dishwashing liquid and water method?

PS: I noticed that the contents of the Zeiss spray I am using are identical to the ones in the Zeiss spray branded for glasses use.

Dishwashing liquid and water is the best cleaning agent for a non-exposed wire core frame imo

Any of you high rollers out there get the cleaning kit?
Is the fluid refillable?
Is the box leather or just material covered cardboard?

The spray in the cleaning kit is the best part. It’s refillable and quality construction. You just can’t get a refill of the solution from JMM 😆 The box and spray is covered in a thin leather. Let me know if you have any other questions!
