Is it just paint residue? I use a combo of 50/50 alcohol and water to clean my lense.

Has'nt with mine. I'm pretty sure the coating is on the inside anyway. You could also try pulling the the lense out and running it under some warm water in the sink.

Yeah, the Vforce lenses come real clean if you pop them out and rinse them under warm water. If you have to use something, a little alchohol or some mild dishsoap will cut the oil, but warm to very warm (not hot) water works well.

the vforce uses a lexan lense, lexan is very soft in that it scratches easily. you should never use any paper products to clean it, not even toilet paper, use a soft cotton rag, not terry cloth, its too rough. if its blurry because you put a bunch of fine scratches in it when you toweled it off then youll need to polish out the scratches and you will be fine. cant remember what to use for this but i know alot of bike helmets use lexan visers so it would be a good bet your local motorcycle shop will have what your looking for, or know where to get it.

I tried the warm water and it worked great. I just got my V-force 2 days ago, played yesterday and got nailed square in the head, kinda funny actually. But now all the paints out.
