CD/DVD Fluids on lenses

[neway]

Hi all:

I've been reading up on how to potentially fix some scratches on the lenses.. I was wondering if i can use something like this product for the front on the lenses...

Will it damage the lens? Does this stuff work?

Thanks in advance.

Depends on how bad the glass is and how much you want to spend on it.

I used an eye-glass repair kit on a $70 Summicron bought for parts. I had two parts Summicrons, made one great one and one "not as great". But, it was much better after polishing the front coating myself, and using an eyeglass repair kit on it.
