- 1). Remove the lens from your camera by depressing the small release tab near the thread mount. If you are using a fisheye adapter, simply unscrew it from the lens on which it is mounted.
- 2). Hold a can of compressed air 6 inches away from the front element of the lens. Blow away any visible dust or dirt particles. Repeat this for the rear element of the lens.
- 3). Moisten a microfiber cloth with lens cleaning solution. Starting from the center of the glass, wipe the lens clean using a gentle circular motion. Repeat this for the rear element.
- 4). Apply a small dab of lens polishing compound to a fresh microfiber cloth. Gently wipe the compound over the scratched area and allow it to dry for 10 minutes. Also apply to the rear element if required.
- 5). Buff off the polishing compound with a dry portion of the microfiber cloth. Wipe in a smooth circular motion until all the polish has been buffed away.
- 6). Inspect the scratched area. If there are still scratches evident, repeat steps 4 and 5 until results improve.
