Currently we're using Collidal Silver for our doodles ears with far better success than anything else we've tried. However, I still can't get Bentley's ears 100% clear consistently. Any other tried and true methods?

I'm an avid fan of colloidal silver for many things. But unless there is some fungal, bacterial or parasitic issue I wouldn't bother using it.  Wondering what you mean by '100% clear consistently.  Ear wax keeps the ears moisturized and also serves to keep out organisms that might irritate the ear canals.  I wouldn't worry about it but I keep checking Yarrow's ears for mites (we have 2 cats) and for any odor which might indicate an infection.  As I understand it, infection is more likely if there is no wax to keep foreign matter (like dust) out of the ears.

100% clear meaning debris, not counting ear wax. Yes, ear wax is healthy. It's how the ear cleans itself. :)
The CS has allowed his ears to not be inflamed and irritated appearing but they are constantly producing yeasty debris. Since using the CS they're the clearest they've ever been but still not "normal." 

Sorry.  Just had to say it as so many humans view earwax as dirt.  Yeasty debris - that's not good.  Yeast is fungus and CS is antifungal, so you're probably doing the best thing.  Yarrow was always scratching at her ears and her ears had an abundance of discharge all the time for the first few months until we changed her food.  No more scratching and ear discharge.  Maybe Bentley has a food allergy.  And that's a whole other discussion group. :)
