i just went paintballing for one of my few times and i took an exceptional amount of hits to the mask. i just wiped them down with toilet papper and my shirt because i didn't have time for a goodclean.is there a better way to clean your googles in between quick-e games besides TP and my shirt.  ------------- danger will robinson danger |

You have 2 options: Option A;take a bottle of some glass cleaner and a soft cloth, keep it in your gear bag. Just keep spraying them until you get most of the paint off. Option B Keep your head down!!!! ------------- Tippmann A-5 E-Grip JCS DUAL Trigger 14" J&J ceramic 68/4500 bullet drop macro line polished internals LPK The damage done to a man should be such that there is no fear of revenge!!! |

Have water, in a small
spray bottle and spray it and clean off the paint, also, use some
toothpicks to scratch it out of the cracks of the mask, unless you have
a VForce then just remove the lens and clean. DO NOT USE WINDEX ON ANY MASK!1!!!!!!!! -------------

| Microfiber cloths like they use for cleaning cars and electronics. One or two wipes dry does the trick. |

I bring 2 towels with me, one to whipe off the hit, the other to finish cleaning. All I do is spit on the lens, but you could use water. -------------

Don't use windex, and don't submerse a thermal mask! Treat the outside of your lens well with Rain-X before you play. Then all you need is a water spray bottle and a roll of paper towels at the field. When your mask is clean keep it in it's bag! Once you get home, take the goggle out and wash the rest of the mask in the tub with some warm water, a sponge, and dish soap. ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

| Just find a creek. Make sure it's clean. Bring a rag and wipe down the paint. Then get a finishing wipe down to keep it extra clean. |

Paper towel might be a bit rough. I use a torn up very used t-shirt. And put warm water in a spray bottle and bring that to the field. If you have a VForce mask like i do. I just remove my lense and give it a good cleaning on the field. -------------

Have you ever been board enough to actually read your mask instructions? It says to never, never ever use any kind of chemical or any cleaner on the lens. This will cause the lens to get weaker and maybe break or crack when shot. ------------- http://img204.imageshack.us/my.php?image=260991706090alb8rs.jpg">

You can soften a paper towel by crumpeling it up into a ball, then open it up flat again. Do this a few times and it will be soft as silk. Rain-X it then water and paper towels on the field. Works great! ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

| For a direct hit and not splatter, the easiest way is to use a spray bottle filled with water to blast off the largest amounts of paint, then a soft cloth to finish cleaning. |

| This one guy at the field I went to took a direct hit to the lense of his mask. He just used a dry handkerchief and the paint came right off. |

NEVER USE GLASS CLEANER ON A GOOGLE LENSE! The glass cleaner weakens the plastic in the lense and destroys the antifog coating. -------------

Well, I was presented
with this situation recently, and i improvised I took off my head band
spit on it and wiped it all off, then removed my lens and made sure I
didn;t miss any, I hate it when stuff is on my mask, no matter how
small....
