Use an approved sunglass lens cleaner solution. These can be found in wipes or "care kits" at sunglass retailers. After getting them moist, dry the lenses with a CLEAN microfiber cloth. Preferably the microfiber carry bag your Oakleys came in. If the cloth isn't absolutely clean and soft, it will scratch the polycarbonate lenses, and remove any Iridium coatings. And don't EVER use ammonia or paper towels, as they will both destroy polycarbonate. I hope this helps.

By the way, I am an Oakley, Revo, and former Bolle owner. And, I used to sell sunglasses professionally.

And for my own curiosity, what style of Oakleys do you have?

The Oakley bag generally does a good job on its own, but for stuck on stains, you need cleaning solution. Which is usually bundled in with the care kit. But if you find solution on it's own, buy it instead and save a few bucks.

where ever you got them, they should have cleaning solutions for sale aswell.

I have Oakley Dart Boards, bought the solution with them
