Rain Spot Removal, please help

I went for a little drive in the rain yesterday evening and ended up at this hole in the wall, middle of nowhere, biker bar. It is in the tiny town of Westminster and a lot of riders enjoy the country roads in this area. Four other buildings make up the town square with one of them being a leather riding gear store. I am told that this is a really happening place on the weekends. I will be going back. Maybe I should invest in a Kevlar vest before then.

I didn't realize I had gotten rain on my lens and I am having a hard time getting rid of it cleanly. Any help would be much appreciated. I really like this photo and don't want to have to trash it. I have attached both the jpg and PNG.

Thanks!

I use a clean microfiber cloth with a small amount lens cleaner on it, no more than two drops on the cloth and start in the middle of the lens in a circular motion rubing on the surface of glass out too the edge of the lens.

Richard thank you for the advise but I was looking to remove it from the photo not the lens. I cleaned the lens up really well when I got home.

I tried Richard's microfibre cloth on the PNG and it came up quite good .

I tried using the Adjustments brush but quickly decided to use cloning instead.

I believe I worked in the area you were concerned about. Used approx. 23 layers.

Well, you already have a clear lens now. By the way, a great shot. The place looks like somewhere you might happen upon accidentally. Someplace time passed by.

Thank you. Its a very happening place on the weekends. I want to go back when the bikers are there and get some shots in the bar/cafe. Maybe if I ask very nicely and batt my eyelashes.
