Blurry backup camera

Guys my backup camera is always blurry I tried to clean the lens where it's mounted to the trunk. Not really that much of a difference. The price is outrageous for a new camera wondering if anyone took it apart to clean inside or had any tricks.

I think they're all like that on the W221. No amount of cleaning is going to make it more clear. I had a new Ford Explorer rental last month the had a crystal clear camera. It even worked great at night. If you want a better camera, you're gonna have to install an after market one.

Post a pic of the image ... The original post is too vague without more data

Is it an original camera that you have at the moment? The camera lens gets dirty on a rainy day but once cleaned it should five a pretty good image.
