Don't use anything too harsh to clean the inside of the lens, you don't want
to damage the reflector surface.  Regular Windex should do the trick pretty
well.  Here are a  couple posts from thesamba:

Most of the time a good cleaning and buffing with a soft terrycloth towel
will do the trick for the outside of the lens.  If it is really bad, you
could try a glass polishing kit:

Good luck,

Hi Jay - what's the recommended procedure to clean the outside/inside of
these glass lenses?  I've been struggling with that - mine have a milky
sheen to them.  I can find 3M products to deal with plastic lenses, but I'm
not finding anything listed for glass -- especially the inner surface.
