Unhappy How to clean water drops/debris off lens?

I'm curious as to how to start the process of removing water spots and dried water droplets with some debris in them. I tried searching the forums, but the only water drop posts I could find were related to how to photograph water droplets.

I've got the necessary tools (I think) brush, lens solutions, micro fiber cloths, blower, I just need to know the steps I should take in order to get started removing the dried debris and spots.

Thanks in advance!

You'll want a cleaning cloth (like the ones you'd use for eye glasses) and a lens cleaning solution. Put the solution on the cloth, then wipe in a circular motion moving from the centre out. If youve got particulate matter in the droplets, use the solution, on a Q-tip to spot-dab the bigger spots, then clean with the cloth.
