Default Rear Camera water drops bug me

What is the solution for getting water to bead off rear camera lens? The water drops blur the picture, especially at night. I wasn't sure if RainX was a good idea.

I usually wax mine while I'm waxing the car. I also wax all the windows on my GX and GS. Works fine for me, but we don't get much rain. The times water has collected their it just ran right off. GL!

I promised myself I would not use the boxing icon again, but I'm getting real close.
