I've got some severe fingerprint marks on my Vari-ND filter.. I tried using a lens pen / rocket blower to clean it but they aren't going away, and they do affect the image quality.

Can someone recommend me which cleaning method & kit I could use to clean my Singh Ray Vari-ND filter thoroughly?

Thanks!

Have you tried breathing lightly on it, then microfiber? The moisture might help with tough fingerprints.

Isopropyl alcohol, in the weakest strength you can get. Or mix it with 50/50 with water. Then blot dry with a face tissue, and clean with micro cloth.
