Lenses always seem dirty now and I don't seem to be able to clean them

3 weeks in use now and the lenses always seem dirty to me now. It's like there are smudges I can't clean. I don't see any scratches. What is this? Did the screen get dirty? Is it the lenses? How do I clean? It's really frustrating.

The ones for lenses should be fine, I've used the Zeiss ones before.

Should I get this? Supposed to be a new formula. Or is it all the same?

Also what about a compressed air can and a good microfiber cloth?

Compressed air won't remove oils from the lenses.There are a variety of forms of compressed "air". Some of them may contain propellants that can leave film on the lenses. It probably would be good to select a form that is intended for camera lenses but most things I've read recommend against the use of compressed air in favor of soft bristle brushes.

I just give mine a 'wet willy' once in a while, followed by wiping it with micofibre.  Cleans it very well and helps reduce fogging.
