Title says it all.
There's alot of smudge marks on my macbook. Maybe some kind of windex and/or cloth for screens? :lol:
Thanks for any help.

damp lint-free cloth, damp from water. Not soaking, but just damp.
Don't use windex unless you want a reason to buy a new laptop.

Forget the Stooples brand monitor cleaning wipes.

They blow.

I got s stuff in a blue bottle that Costco sell for glasses.. When using with a cotton cloth, it does a fantastic job. I use that stuff all the time on LCD.

Start by using the damp microfiber cloth method, and if that doesn't work, you might try adding a bit of 99% rubbing alcohol when you dampen the cloth. I've only cleaned mine once, using only a damp cloth (had it eight months).

Go to Walmart, and get the 3 microfibre cloths for $5. Get one of them damp and start wiping the LCD and then take the dry one to dry it off.

That's all u need.

If you want to go fancy, then get the iKlear Apple Polish (http://www.klearscreen.com/iKlear.aspx). Works fantastic with their micro chamois cloth for everything I have tried it on except CDs and DVDs.

Thats distilled water with a rubbing alcohol-like chemical. I mix water to alcohol, 50:50. It works great and leaves no water marks.

Total rip off. Is it worth paying $30 to get your stuff looking shinny when you can make a solution for less than 1 cent and have slightly less results.

I think its worth it. Because it works, 30 bucks is not really that much in my opinion, especially one bottle (200ml) can last for years

Cheaper at DirectCanada, PM at NCIX if you want to shop with NCIX instead:

They've been as low as $3.99 during NCIX sales.

Thanks for the help.
That home-made solution sounds pretty good and cheap, but I haven't any time to make or buy the items.
Going to go with what JonLai said and pick some up at NCIX on my way home.
