Lens clean

I buy the Zeiss wipes in foil packets a box of 400 for $25 and also lens cleaner in pint bottles that I use to refill 1 oz spray bottles. I buy the Your Choice boxes of 6 microfiber cleaning wipes at $1 per wipe and I replace them weekly.

The Rocket blower works well at home but is too large to take in the field and so I use instead a small combo blower and brush and I also carry one fo the retractable "lipstick" style brushes.
 
In the field or at home I start off with Rocket Blower, then lense wipes followed by dry cloth (wash regularly) and finally Rocket Blower. At home I also clean back end of lense and check my sensor for stray dust etc.
 
I keep a B&W UV filter on, I have never cleaned the front element of my lenses, save for the rare occasions when I use a rocket blower and/or a brush.
As for the UV filter, Rocket blower (have several and I always have one in the field, a brush (Lipstick type) if needed, Zeiss wipes and a clean dry micro fibre cloth. I will also hold my hand up and admit to wiping rain drops off with my T shirt once because I forgot my microfibre cloth.
