This time of year may just be condensation if your car is not garaged, similarly can be ice when cold.

Sounds like overkill.  What’s wrong with plain water and a sponge?

Had the same message - but it went off. Will give them all a quick clean.

Tried cleaning with Just Plain Water and a Sponge but the message came back on.. it was only when i cleaned the Sensors with WD40 the Message disappeared..............................................................................................................................................

Interesting, and something I’ll keep in mind.  I‘ve had the message several times after driving in (literally) filthy weather with the front sensors coated with wet dirt kicked up by preceding vehicles, and a pouring of clean water only occasionally helped by a sponge has always been enough to clear them.

Also Try A Little Vaseline Smeared over the Sensors Renato Just a Little though.. Seems this is very effective...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
