Self :
next time our 8 year old grandson is helping clean a rifle, make sure that when I tell him to wipe it down with a Ballistol soaked rag that i emphasize he not to wipe the scope lenses ..

I can clearly see there is a problem here. How did the scope turn out?

Hopefully, it didn't take any of the fluorite coating off.

Look at the surfaces of the lenses with a bright flashlight. Try a couple different angles. If there is damage to the lens coating, I would think you should be able to see it. You're probably fine.
