The Importance of Water in Lens Polishing

I’ve been refining my lens polishing technique, and I’ve noticed that the right amount of water makes all the difference. Too little can lead to scratches, while too much can create a mess. I’m curious if anyone else has tips on maintaining the perfect balance during this step; it seems so crucial for achieving that crystal-clear finish we all aim.

, I totally get that struggle with the water balance! When I polish, I try to use distilled water; it minimizes the risk of scratches while keeping things smooth. But if it’s too wet, I find that using a lint-free cloth can help absorb some excess without ruining the finish. Ever tried that?

I’ve found that using a soft, lint-free cloth can really help manage the water situation when polishing. It not only soaks up excess moisture but also gives that little extra polish. Have you ever tried that? It might be worth experimenting with different cloths to see what works best.
