For 'heavy' lens cleaning I use leans cleaner and micro fiber cloth (Pentax). I heard the Schneider cloth is good. My Leica dealer warned me about cleaning tissues (Kodak, Olympus..). Dust I remove by using soft brush, only. I did once a test. I cleaned my slide projector (Kodak) lens and blow air on it few times. What I saw under magnifying glass shocked me! The micro dust was still on, and it looked as a brush! Air removed visible dust, but micro dust was stuck. Leica front lenses are hard coated, but I will not test how strong they are. When cleaning, first I remove dust, and then I use cloth, when I have to.
