    use windex on damp cloth

    use a 1/4 mix of alcohol into water on cloth

    if both methods don't work, your sweat have ruined the coating

    I recommend avoiding anything that has alcohol in it. It can degrade the rubberized plastic used. I've been using this ( link) as a cleaner and it's worked well. However, I recommend getting a skin ( link) instead. It was a pain to put on but I no longer have finger prints or sweat marks and the brushed steel makes the the laptop look a lot cooler.

    Slightly dampened with water micro fiber cloth, that's it.

    Yes, avoid alcohol. It kills the soft touch finish. I use mild screen cleaner myself.
