Pentax SpotMatic 35mm film camera

Hi, I have an old Pentax film 35mm camera. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to clean the view finder. I removed the lens and used a dust blaster (canned air) then tripped the mirror and used the compressed air again. The view finder is somewhat better now. Is there any way I could used something like lens cleaner and tissue to clean the view finder on the inside above the mirror?? I know this is not a digital SLR but I'm hoping someone could advise me. The old Pentax Spotmatic still takes beautiful pictures.
Thank you,
Paulie

I would recommend using special wipes called Kimwipes, they're normally used to clean chemistry equipment, specially glass for optical spectroscopy. In my experience these work well and don't damage any lenses. You can use lens cleaner if the dry kimwipes can't clean enough.

The labs I've worked at usually just order them online, amazon.com is a good place, and if you type the search into google you can find several different sites. Here's the link for amazon.com:
http://www.amazon.com/Kimberly-Clark-Kimwipes-R-15in-17in/dp/B00006IAUT
They're a little bit pricey but their quality is very good, and plus they last for a long time because you would probably rarely use them. They're useful for anything delicate that you really don't want to scratch.

Adita D,
Thank you for such a quick response. I already had Read Right cpoier glass cleaning pads on hand. They are made by a division of The Texwipe Company. They did the job. It's so nice and bright making it much easier to focus.
Thank you,
Paulie
