Costco sells an LCD\LED screen cleaner package with 4 bottles (two BIG and two travel sizes) for $15 ... best deal in town.
A microfiber cloth moisten with distilled water is all you need.
You can get a gallon of it at the grocery for $1.
Water does nothing for finger grease (oil)... duhh. Hence why a cleaning solution is necessary. Do you bathe without soap?
Why are you using chemicals?
Removing oil from a oleophobic surface is no different than removing water from a hydrophobic surface.
Let me guess. Instead of toweling off after a shower, you probably dowse yourself with oil and vinegar to remove the water.
Your analogy makes no sense. You're confusing a fingerprint resistant surface to a fingerprint proof surface.
The oil gets on the screen. You can either use a chemical that will break down the oil and allow it to be wiped up, or use water\towel... but water\towel just relocates the oil... some to the towel, some just pushed around the screen.
Your analogy would have made more sense if you suggested using a squeegee to towel off as that's essentially similar, just pushing the water around on the body, and removing the bulk of it. The reason they use squeegees on water\glass is because water will dry. If you bathed in oil a squeegee wouldn't remove the oil, but the oil would eventually soak into your skin... unlike the coating on the ipad, where it won't, so the same technique of pushing the grime around won't suffice.
Tell ya what, drop a tablespoon of oil in the center of your screen, wipe it with cloth and water, then take a picture for us. Then go wash your dishes with water and no soap, and see how that turns out for ya. There's a reason people have been using detergents to clean their laundry, dishes, LCD screens, and bodies since the beginning of their existence... LOL, you're that guy who was raised to not shower with soap, ehh?
This is the _only_ way. The only problem is some people don't feel right unless they're spending lots of money on "special" cleaners. There's nothing you can't remove with a moistened microfiber cloth. Unless something very acidic is allowed to sit on it for a month or two.A microfiber cloth moisten with distilled water is all you need.

The proper way to remove skin oil is to use a dry microfiber cloth. It lifts the oil off easily.
One uses a water moistened cloth on other surfaces like the aluminum.
The microfiber cloth is washable & reusable. The reason microfiber is being specified, is it's designed for this kind of usage.
It sounds like you have no clue as to what microfiber is. It's impossible to scratch any surface with it dry. That's the beauty of these inexpensive cloths sold nearly everywhere.
