Not at all abrasive and certainly one of the milder solvents

Hi posting as i know a few of the members are into guns, so nephew got given a scope and he has discovered a blemish on the inside of the glass with the crosshair on it so inside the scope, and idea on what to use to clean and polish this glass ?
Thanks

Is the scope gas filled?
The cross hairs are very delicate.
"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action."

Depending on the scope it will be gas filled and lenses coated. I have a Swarovski and wouldn't do anything DIY on it.
I wouldn't recommend dismantling a scope.
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
If it is from one of the big three - Swarovski, Schmidt & Bender or Zeiss - send it back to them.
Otherwise try Paul Burke, based near Birmingham - Google “Paul Burke repairs” and you should find his contact number.
