Problem with cleaning a barlow

I got a finger mark on my barlow lens, and attempted to use the Orion cleaning kit to remove the mark. I followed the instructions - put a couple of drops of cleaning solution on one of the lens tissues, wiped the lens very carefully, and then dried with a dry lens tissue. Result - horrendous streaking across the entire lens surface. I tried the same thing again, but same result.
I then tried wiping gently with the cleaning cloth - but the streaks remain.
Did I do something wrong here - or is the Orion kit at fault? Either way - I would appreciate advice on how to remedy this situation!
Thanks,
Paul
