@Martin Henson Have you done a YouTube video that includes a demonstration on how you clean vintage lenses please Martin? I generally use alcohol loaded lens wipes with varying degrees of success.
 
To remove minor cleaning marks, stains the best cleaner is Cerium oxide polishing powder, the only thing to be careful of on some lens it can remove the coatings, amazing stuff
 
Thanks Martin. Where do you source it from please, and is it a simple matter of putting some on a polishing cloth and rubbing it on the lens?
 
I got mine from eBay, a small amount will last ages, add a little water to the powder so it’s like a fine paste then dampen your cloth and rub in circular directions to clean
