Greasy Screen...how do I fix it?

I wiped my 15" glossy screen on my MacBook Pro and the screen became very greasy. Now it looks ok when the computer is on, but when it's off I notice a bunch of streaks. Is there a way to fix this? Time? Certain product?

Thanks in advance!

MacPro 15", Mac OS X (10.5)

Welcome to the Forums!

A microfiber cloth and plain water (Apple's recommendation). Products like iKlear, or wet/dry screen dual-pack LCD screen cleaners (available from any office supply store) also work. Personally, I use the wet/dry dual packs, and they work very well.

Hope this helps...

Just after cleaning mine today, I used two high quality microfiber cloths, one I wet with a small amount of water and clean the screen with and the second I use to dry immediately afterwards. Result = screen looks like new.

Do NOT spit on the screen, and follow up with a wipe of your sleeve! Do NOT use windex!

Cleaning Your MacBook Display
Follow these general rules when cleaning the screen.
Shut down your MacBook, detach the power adapter, and remove the battery.
Dampen a clean, soft, lint-free cloth or paper with water only and wipe the screen gently. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen.
