    So, the sony manual provides no good guidence to clean it. My friend put finger prints all over the screen. Eerrrrrrrr....

    I tried using my Oakley bag to clean it...but the finger prints didn't wanna leave. What is safe to use?

    uh, i dont know the words, so try to figure out what i mean [ :D]

    there are special paper-tissues to clean eyeglasses. they look and smell just like those tissues that you sometimes get to clean your fingers when you buy fastfood-stuff, but it vanishes without a trace and cleans the glass perfectly. I guess it's also good for the x-brite screens.

    those tissues only have a little bit of that cleaning liquid on them, so you won't risk destroying your notebook by having water flowing under the casing [|)]. You could also try using a tiny bit of dish-washing liquid on a wet piece of soft cloth, but I guess those eyeglass-things are better suited. Especially since you'll get a whole pack of them and can take some of them with you, just for the case that a friend or someone has to put his fingers on your brilliant screen [xx(].

    they're sold in normal drugstores and shouldn't be very expensive.
