    My ASUS K50IJ ( love it, love ASUS ) has a nice, glossy screen. It has a few smudges on it which were succesfully removed by wiping it gently with a damp baby wipe. The problem now is, it left some black stroked from my cleaning which look like undried water strokes. I gently cleansed it with a soft cloth and no go.

    The strokes are 100% devisible when laptop is running on sun or in a room. They are not visible in room lighting but are visible when on the sun. Any ideas on what to use on and how to do it?

    P.S: I was as gentle as a dove when cleaning and I am good at doing it. So now flames about not being gentle. Thank you.

    Just get a microfiber cloth and use a bit of water and it should probably take it off fine.

    I personally use an item called "Monster cleaner" (made by the same company that does Monster Cable) which is a non-alcohol based cleaner and comes with a soft cloth. It is specifically designed for these types of panels and I've had great luck with it on all of my screens.
