Cleaning Nano screen

Well, there is a annoying fingerprint in one of the corner of my nano screen. I tried to clean it with a Kleenex but it's scratched it (a little bit). So, my question is: what should I use to clean my nano screen??

Do not use nail varnish remover to get the sticky glue residues off the nano!

I gave a nano to my wife, who tried to get the apple warning sticker off the back, and in process got glue / gunk from the sticker on the front. She went upstairs (unbeknown to me) to get it off with nail varnish remover ...I then hear screams as her aniversary present is reduced to a dulled mess -screen and front.

Apple UK were unsympathetic, of course and the telephone op. (no tech knowledge at all) said they will repair it for £169...more than a new iPod nano! How stupid a policy. next stop- polish.

She said (don't know if I believe her) that the front is not replacable.

anyone know different?

Displex works.
I have a new black Nano, with a major dulling and matt area on the black front and screen caused by Nail varnish remover (don't ask!) a large patch that is much worse than scratching. I bought Displex (£4on UK ebay).

I applied it with a spectacles cleaning cloth and after 30 minutes of careful circular polishing, medium pressure, it has made an improvement of say 90%. Casual lookers will not notice the original damage. Another session of 10 minutes will probably cure all trace of damage, although wife is now happy that her precious Nano is not terminally scarred as it was.

I just got my Nano and it does seem to get greasy and dirty just from looking at it.

What I've used since day 1 is "Scotch Brite Microfiber Cleaning Cloth" from 3M. It's specially designed for CD/DVD surfaces, camera lens, glasses and such pieces of delicate maintenance.

It's been working great, not 1 scratch eventhough I seem to have developed a cleaning compulsion with this thing. Hey! You don't even need water. Just dry rub with this cloth and it's good to go without any damage whatsoever. I'm thinking of making a nice traveling sock for it made from this fiber. Lol!!!
