Water Related issues

[gillatineny]

Have a few general questions about shooting in the ocean.

-I shoot at the surface so water will wick away leaving waterdrops. Shooting on a sony sr-12 with hd6 equinox water housing.

1.What is the best way to get rid of water spots on the camera water housing lens?
I've tried spittin on it and it only works sometime...do i have to spit and then dip in freshwater or wut? any other advice is welcome.

2. What should I soak the housing in after filming to ensure minimal corrosion from the saltwater.

I've heard of alcohol, water, etc., what works best?

I have been told (but have not tried it yet) that rubbing a raw potato on the outside of the housing helps...something about the starch from the potato...i dunno, give it a shot and see if it works...
