I saw a recent program on TV where a 100-year old telescope was restored, and 
the restorer used methylated spirits on the (glass)
lens to bring them back to what looked like pristine quality.
I intend to try it on an old 500/8 telescopic lens I own...

Subject: lens coating maintenance

I picked up a Super Mutli Coated Takumar 6x7 75mm.

Mechanics and internals are fine but the front surface has scuffs. No 
scratches. Just dull spots.

Is there any maintenance for such?
