Blurry rear view camera

Evening

The rear view camera seems to get blurry and blurry the more I drive. Wiping it Clears it up but it always seems to come back. Has anyone else have this problem? I'm thinking it's coming from the exhaust and it is cold AF here right now . I had a 2012 c350 before and it never had this problem

Where do you live? Could be kicking up salt. Mine was blurry last night because of the salty roads here and wiping it up helped... until I kick up more salt again.

Edmonton AB here, I have the exact same issue. I don't think it's so much a defect as it is just a design flaw. The new cameras (2016+) are much higher resolution and also tuck away when not in use so they don't get dirty.
