I've never cleaned my len before. In the first place, you should use a filter for protection.

Raymond, I use the Kodak lens cleaning solution for cleaning the lenses. And cosmetic blotters for wiping the excess liquid off the lens surface.

Do not apply the liquid directly to the lens surface. Apply the liquid on the blotter. Allow the liquid to absorb into the blotter and in gentle circular motion, wipe on the lens surface, gently till no liquid marks are visible.

Make sure dirt and grime is removed with blower and soft brush before you proceed with the cleaning.

Hope this will help.
