I hope I'm not going over old territory here:

Many months ago the availability of OPTICLEAN lens cleaner in the US was
discussed here. At the time no one had found a source. The quoted note from
the manufacturer below was sent out to the Canon EOS list (and turned up on
my web search).

OPTICLEAN is a liquid polymer that is applied to the lens surface. When it
dries it can be lifted off. It bonds with particles and pulls them neatly
away from the lens surface, providing a very thorough cleaning.

The big concern on the EOS list was over which Canon lenses had plastic
rear elements, since OPTICLEAN will damage plastic lenses (probably due to
the action of the volatile solvent that dries away after it's applied.)

I don't think the concern over plastic lenses applies for this group.
