evaporates very quickly. So - Apply Windex with a dipped Johnson &
Johnson Cotton Bud (some other brands have something in the cotton to
hold it together). Work gently over the surface. Remove recalcitrant
specks gently with the point of a toothpick. Final VERY gently rub with
a clean microfibre cloth. Seems to work. >>

Exactly how I do it. Works great.  If you get some streaking, breath
some condensation onto the glass and polish again (and again, if needed
for nasty lenses).
