Acetone or laquer thinner will melt plastic, keep it away from lenses
and filters. If you've got a bit of glue or something on there it might
help, just be careful and keep it only on the glass, then follow up with
cleaning as below.

I use Kodak lens cleaner and lens cleaning tissue with excellent
results. It's all in the way you apply it. I like using a wet solution
because I don't have to apply pressure to the lens or filter. Start with a
drop in the center and gently with a wadded double lens tissue move it in a
circle to the outside of lens. Then gently wipe in the same circular motion
with a dry tissue. Repeat as necessary, always with new tissues. I use a
soft brush to remove dust.
