Default How to Clean Backup Camera Lens

I need to clean the lens on my 2014 XJ Supercharged. What does everyone use for that?

Soap and water is all I ever use on my 2014 XJ lens.

This camera lens can become oxidized by UV rays, or scratched by car washes or amateur buffing of the bodywork. Is your image cloudy? If so, you can possibly restore this lens in a similar fashion to headlamp removation. Use a polishing compound and soft pad. If you have a Dremel tool, they have a tiny felt wheel attachment that would work. Before beginning, I'd examine the camera closely to see if maybe it is broken, allowing moisture inside the lens. If so, you're out of luck and must replace the camera.
