    What is best to use to clean my glossy notebook screen? What liquid and what kind of cloth?

    Just a little spit and your shirt.. ;)
    On a more serious note. I think they have been suggesting the eyeglass lense cleaner cloths.

    Better use damp (with water) cloth cotton or the one made to clean glass window. It is preferable not to use any kind of chemical. DONT EVER USE TISSUE (they are very rough if u look at them under the microscope)

    Eyeglass cloths fit the job well. You can use Anti-Static monitor cleaning spray, doesn't cost much :)

    yep, thems eyeglass wipin cloths are great... but make sure, if they happen to have dirt inside, well, you are gonna get yourself swirly marks...

    make sure the wiping cloth is free of dust.

    in terms of the wipin cloth, there are 2 main kinds, one is a tricot based fabric that is brushed and shaved, so the face of fabric is almost like suede... this is good/better since whatever dust particles is hidden under the fibers. the japanese companies make great sueded fabrics.

    the other kind is a knit fabric that is basically polyester jersey that is peached.
    this is not so good because it does not absorb as well and also leave streak marks.

    anyways, my $0.02

    you can get the stuff from RadTech.com but it is extremely overpriced.
    the cleaning solution from them is not as great as the glare free solution i got from my local eyeglass shop. the suede that they have is very nice tho... but still EXTREMELY overpriced.
