I find a lens pen is the best product to use. As long as you blow off any dust with a rocket blower (or similar product) there's not much risk of scratching the lens element.
I'm not a big fan of using cleaning solutions as I once ruined a B + W UV filter's coating doing it that way.
With the lens pen you can remove pretty stubborn smudges etc without risking scratching.

microfiber cloth. I wouldn't try to clean like tree sap/pollen/salt spray/etc myself
Not so sure about the specifics but, for my 2 lenses and 1 body its about 100 bucks including shipping (repairs ifnecessaryare more)
Hello,
I bought my 5D Mark II largely for video purposes, although it shoots great stills.
I know that Stanley Kubrick had an assistant who would clean each lens daily.
That assistant is now the largest independent distributor of iMax films.
I clean my lenses often.
The greater you enlarge your image, the more important it becomes.
