Abstract: Devices and compositions are provided for cleaning optical surfaces with carbon black. Carbon black may be impregnated on a soft pad, such as chamois leather, to provide a lens cleaning device. The soft pad may be supported on a handle. The soft pad may be mounted on the handle by a resilient member that is capable of adapting with the soft pad to conform the cleaning surface to concave or convex optical surfaces. A retractable brush may be mounted at the opposite end of the handle from the soft pad.

Abstract: A windshield cleaning tool includes a cleaning member which is preferably triangular in shape with rounded corners and a bottom with a corrugated cleaning surface. There is a handle member hingedly connected to the top of the cleaning member. Preferably the cleaning member has a rounded front, first and second sides diverging away from the front and a back extending between the sides. The bottom of the cleaning member has a plurality of corrugations which may be transverse with respect to a center line. There may be a chamois-like outer layer and a foam inner layer on the bottom of the cleaning member.
