Polycarb Dome And Lens Port Cleaning And Dirt Protection

I searched around, and found some old posts, but looking for a 2017 update as new tech and methods come about rapidly in this age.

I have cams in salt air environments. They are high up and out of range of spray, but they can still get dirt and salty dew. Storms moving through can help clean them, but not completely. I want to know two things related to keeping lens ports and domes clean for outdoor IP cameras.

1) What solutions do people use to clean them? ( obviously ammonia is out for plastic ports and domes.)

2) Are there any sprays that can be applied to sheet water for some extended time after they dry? (Rain-X doesn't sheet. It beads. Beads are bad for camera ports.)

Thanks,

Brian
