What's the best way to clean an anti-glare screen. I've had my machine since December and I'm starting to see smudges on the screen. I'd really appreciate if any advice.

HOT breath and Looovvveee 😛
J/K....I see a lot of people recommend the iKlear. I too got mine in Dec. I just use a semi damp paper towel with a little windex on it. And I don't let anyone touch the screen. I hate it when people do that! 😱

just find a good microfibre cloth and your set. when using on an air and anti-glare mbp a good clothe will remove smudges from the screen and not leave streaks with liquids/iklear/damp cloths.
i dont personally recommend windex or things like that as im not sure if it will damage the lcd itself, but iklear if anything is good as a screen cleaner.

Microfiber can as well if not properly maintained. That said, I also suggest microfiber and water.

That is true of anything not maintained correctly, but new paper towels are abrasive by their very nature. Also water is not a good cleaner as like I said before it is very harsh. If I had to choose water, the only type would be treated RO/ distilled water (as hopefully most of the minerals have been removed). Never use DI water as that is just asking for trouble.
I usually use a slightly damp microfiber cloth to wipe away debris, and then finish up with a dry microfiber to clean away the streaks.
OmniCleanz from RadTech. You can purchase it bundled with a microfiber cloth.
Sometimes using your breath or water just doesn't do the job. OmniCleanz is non-conductible so it won't harm electronic gear. I use it to clean cameras, lenses, keyboards... everything.
