iPhone 12 Pro Max Need advise on how to clean camera lens?

Also does the back of the phone have that oleophobic coating, maybe that's been damaged...

I was actually wondering about that myself.

I use an anti bacterial wipe with high alcohol content and clean my whole phone over once a day. Never had an issue.

I just lick mine and wipe with an old oil rag. Clean as a whistle.

Going to the Apple store accomplished nothing. Technician couldn’t see the residue and when I showed her a picture she considered it cosmetic. Which I understand but frankly if nothing was going to be done, I wouldn’t have left my apartment just to be told that…

Every time we see a new picture it looks completely different than the previous.
Now this one looks all cracked and scratched around the edges of the lenses, like broken ice.
Can barely see the "gunk" around the lenses and can’t see the "ghost" marks on/within the lenses.
Also, maybe the case is too slim. Looks like the lenses are at the exact level of the case, maybe even a hair above it.
