Oakley crowbar lens help

I have a fire lens. They have this kind of film that developed on the inside part of the lens. It looks like fog but if I wipe with a wet towel it goes away and just "fogs" up again. It's not fog and I can scrape it off with my fingernail but it looks like shit.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The wet towel removes the anti-fog coating on them

This. Try to never wipe the inner lens when it's still wet (and with anything besides a microfiber cloth). The antifog coating has most likely been wiped away already

This is actually a problem of mine, not the same but whatever. So I let the inner lens dry, but it dries with a bunch of watermarks on the inside, now that it is dry it is ok to wipe that out or am I stuck with this super shitty water residue on my inner lens?

If you get snow or water on the inner lens on a pow day or something, it's best to not wipe it at all and let it dry. After it's 100% dry it's okay to wipe it with a soft cloth.

to the OP, you can try some anti-fog wipes but it's only a temporary fix.

Anti fog wipes? These sold at the mountain I'm guessing never seen them. Thanks for the responses, so are these cashed then? Just bought them off a ns member and their like 70% okay I guess.

Yeah they're a buck or two, worth a try.
