    As per title what do you use to rid your XPS screen of fingerprints/dust etc? I would have liked to use the cleaning cloth that came with my XPS but since I didn't get one, and couldn't convince retarded Dell customer service :rolleyes: that one should have been included, I guess I'll have to find something else.

    Any suggestions much appreciated! Cheers :)

    Monster screen cleaner with microfiber cloth. It's sold at best buy for like ten bucks, absolutely worth it.

    I don't have an XPS but I just use water + paper towel: no problems for me.

    100% pure cotton towel (+water/rubbing on the greasy spots). Just go to your local bath/clothing store and find the softest (read most expensive) cloth you can get.

    My XPS get's the same cloth treatment that my M3, Firehawk, and Accord get :)

    I use microfiber cloths meant for optics. Those meant for glasses and a little bit of warm breath on the screen work wonders.
