Answer
If only you'd taken the time to READ the instruction sheet. It says: "Apply a small amount of the lens cleaning solution to a lens tissue. Never apply any liquid directly to the lens." Or words to that effect. If you had READ the section on "Care & Cleaning" in the Owner's Manual for your camera you'd have seen a similar warning.
About all you can do now is let the camera sit in a warm, well ventilated (not directly in the sun) place and hope the cleaning solution evaporates without causing any damage. If the solution damaged the coating on the inside of the lens a new camera is in your future.
Good luck.

Cleaning very dirty camera lenses?
Truth
I have two lenses, a 70-210 Tamron and a 35-135 Kiron. They are for my Nikon F3s and I haven't used them for a few years since I got my dig's. Problem is I want to give them and an F3 to a friend and I had set them aside with no caps and forgot about them. Just looked and they each have a layer of dirt on them which I have no idea how to clean. Predictably worried about scratches. If I have blown off all that can be what's the next step? Dishwasher?

Buy a lens cleaning kit with the liquid made for camera lenses. First, use a very soft bristle brush to remove any loose dust/dirt and then wet a piece of the lens tissue and very gently wipe from the center of the lens to the edge. Repeat as necessary, using a new lens tissue each time. DO NOT put the lens cleaning solution directly on the lens.
Once the lenses are clean, suggest to your friend that they invest in a good quality UV filter for each lens. In the future all they'll have to clean is the filter.
