How do you measure the cleanness of the glass after using one of these methods?
I do it the 'Good enough for Government work' method
Shine my bright point LED flashlight behind it

Wow, so many methods. The dish wash stuff worked well. But the technique for doing so I still have to work on. The telescope mirror method is next on the list. I don't have silvering on it is a bit less scary. Not getting anything like a cloth or wipe on it after washing is also to remember.
The newspaper I also heard before for cleaning the windows. But I don't like to try it because the glass isn't that big and I don't have any edges to hold on.
Next step glueing the filters between the glass. I'll try with some polyester film and scrap slide glasses first. Guess I'll have to make a guide or so.

Try Vodka.
It won't get the glass clean, but if you drink enough of it you won't care

No moisture or wipes ever touch my lenses, certainly not the sandpaper sold as "Lens Tissue.". I use activated charcoal on a Q-Tip.. Dip the Q-tip in the activated charcoal, knock-off excess, use circular motion lightly, no scrubbing. My lenses sparkle after this. No scratches, no film, just glass.
It might work on your project. Activated charcoal comes in capsules at health food stores.
Lenses are easy. What about multiple sheets of big enlarger glass? Q-tip is of no value there.
