Default Rear view camera in rainy weather gets dirty very fast!

In rainy weather rear view camera quickly covers with raindrops & splashes, so after a ride, u need to go out, clean the camera, and than safely park...

Any ideas how to keep camera clean? Special liquids like "anti rain repellents" or may be some kind of spoilers? I even think about installing a small fan to blow off raindrops from camera lens...

How bad is the rain where you are? I live around LA, never got that bad. It does sometimes get a little hard to view through, but never impossible to make out the car behind me or the cement block.

Put some RainX on the lens. It will make a large difference.
