You can't be serious? If you are kidding, disregard my comments below. If
you are serious, you just aren't using the right cleaning stuff. While
saliva is corrosive, it should not harm even the oldest SMC coatings (unless
you've been drinking acetone or something like that and even then...)
try a q-tip very lightly moistened with glass cleaner. If you constantly
refresh the area being used on the glass with a new surface, you should have
no trouble removing the spittle.

It appears to me that what remains are actually spots of coating damaged by
the enzymes in my saliva. I worked them well with Kodak lens tissue and a
lens cleaner liquid that always worked on everything else. I truly think my
saliva could lick the coatings off a lens.
