What do you use to clean the touch screen?

Subject says it all. I'd love to hear what you like to get those pesky fingerprints off. I've used a dry microfiber in the past but would love a product that has some anti static properties and doesn't leave any kind of sheen. Thanks!

I've just been using the slightly residual moist cloth I use on my windows after I've been wiping them.

I use camera lens cloth on the screen and also on the piano finish. Doesn't scratch and cleans finger prints with no liquid. If I use liquid I spray Mcguires interior cleaner on the cloth.

I just use the cloth cases that come with my Oakley sunglasses over the years. Works well to wipe/dust off the screens and the trim areas.

I also clean the black exterior pieces on my g20 with the same type of cloth since those regular microfiber towels scratch them up fairly easy.

Swiffer dusters work magic on screens and piano black plastics. Dust, then lightly damp microfiber has never scratched for me but getting the particulates off first is key. Sand will scratch on the quick.

I use a micro fiber cloth that has a medium fiber height. It works very well. For more stubborn build up I’ll lightly mist the surface with eye glass cleaner and wipe with the micro fiber cloth. Discovered this technique when attempting to clean high use devices such as my phone and iPad.

Have a cloth to clean computer/phone screens. Very soft, works great. Use the controller for most functions, so not many fingerprints. Just keep it in the charger area with the cupholders.

I just started using Adam's Total Interior Cleaner and I'm quite happy with it. Works across interior surfaces including the screen without leaving a film or any gloss. I'm typically against anything that serves so many purposes but this one works.
