Its never as clean as it is when you first take it out of the box; mask cleaning - Page 3

Yeah, that's a pretty dream. But a spray bottle isn't going to get a full break or messy paint spray off a lens. At least, not without running everywhere and then leaving residue marks when it eventually dries. I don't have that kind of time between games.

Plexus is what I use. It buffs out the scratches and wipes out the streaks and cleans the lens after the original water and towel treatment gets off the paint.

Thats what I do.

But I make sure I have a couple of minutes to do a good job. I hold the mask with the outer lense facing down so the water drips down instead of inside the mask, spray off the poo and wipe with microfiber once there is no more paint. It is easy to spray off all of the paint with a decent spray bottle.

Its even easier with a V force mask, id probably remove the lense on those beauties. I need to try a grill.

I guess. Plexus still does wonders, though

. And I only replace mine maybe once a year or so (first lens lasted two years), and considering that, replacement lenses are CHEAP. I buy more guns per year than I do mask lenses

Profiler lenses are great. Definitely cheap.

Spectra lenses used to be available cheap. Once everyones ancient stock sold out they became expensive again. At least, not cheap enough.

Even if spectra lenses were a dime a dozen, the time it takes to replace them makes it not worth it. Those lenses are the reason I made the switch to V-Force.

The Spectra lenses are a PITA to change!!! I try very hard to take good care of them for that reason alone.

There are like 5 tabs and with a rubber frame?

I can rip the lense out of the sucker in like 20 seconds.

After play I remove mine every time to get the paint out of the gutter so it doesnt sit there and weaken my lense.

I prefer a quick change system like the V force but so far I have not found another mask that does not make my face so hot.

I use Pledge. No joke, it works great. I have yet to see any ill effects from using it.

seekandestroy78 · 07-10-2008, 03:34 PM

the key is to only wipe vertically.

Cunha · 07-10-2008, 04:20 PM

Or only horizontally?

Probably only one direction will help.. good idea.
