I know the klear stuff works or whatever on the Apple site but I'm going to pick that up next time I go to the apple store, more likely in Florida (after Xmas). Right now, I've got a lot of smudges on my screen that the black cloth won't get off. What should I use??

Windex, many people shun it but I have used it for years and it has worked just fine for me and has never damaged a screen.

*IMPORTANT* Spray the cleaner on a paper towel then wwipe the screen never spray it directly onto the screen as it may drip down into the electronic part of it.

I use the same optical wipes and solution that I use to clean my eyeglasses. They have special coatings, and the optician recommended that I use these special tissue-like, uh, tissues and a spray solution or there are single use individually packaged pre-moistened wipes. I figure if they are safe for my very expensive glasses, they should (and do) work safely and fine for my screen.

I would use a micro fiber cloth before I would use a paper towel.

Personally, I have never used Windex or paper towels on any of my expensive electronics. If I saw someone using them on my stuff I would slap them.
