I just floated the lens face down on the surface of a shallow pan of warm water for 15 minutes and it softened the formerly rock hard goop right up. It could then be scraped off with a fingernail. No scratches in the plastic lens. Do not submerge the lens or the white lettering in the depressions on the back side will wash off!! Greg Weaver In a message dated 2/26/2012 8:47:02 P.M.

If I remember correctly, I was able to clean off the gray goo merely by using dish soap and warm water, along with a soft sponge. Scotch Brite may be overkill and will leave scratches. Take your time on this.
