It's too bad about your lenses. My experience has been quite different, having used dish detergent and water on premium coated lenses for many years with great results. The coatings will eventually degrade, regardless of the cleaning method, but should last for years using abrasive free soap and water, and avoiding rubbing (which guarantees streaked lenses). I have always blotted my lenses dry (until this excellent video). .
Your videos are always interesting, and I hope you'll post some more music-related. Ironic, isn't it, that this little video is the one I'll always remember you by! This works great!
My specs went missing some time ago (couple years?) so my private mini-lesson was finding this method works great on cheap sunglasses too, which usually have plastic lenses that scratch quite easily. Rubbing paper on any kind of lens (wet or dry) is often risky, unless it is 'lens paper' intended for such use. Even glass will scratch if everything is not perfectly clean and free of abrasive particles. Such a dirty world, isn't it? :-D
Looks interesting. Get that tap fixed though, wasting water ain't green!!

Soap takes off the protective coatings of the glasses. I used it and it messed them up.

Windex™ or Dial™, does it matter? From elsewhere:

What kind of soap do you use? Antibacterial or soft soap? Or some other kind?

I used regular Walmart brand hand soap. I often use dish soap, though.
