Hi, I don't have access to any commercial / retail cleaning products. What is the best way to clean the LCD screen? And also the aluminum body? Thanks.
 
Apple gives instructions on how to clean your MBA in the MacBook Air User Guide:
Cleaning your MacBook Air When cleaning the outside of your MacBook Air and its
components, first shut down your MacBook Air, and then unplug the power adapter.
Then use a damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the MacBook Air exterior. Avoid getting
moisture in any openings. Do not spray liquid directly on the computer. Do not use
aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives that might damage the finish.

Cleaning the MacBook Air screen To clean your MacBook Air screen, first shut down
your MacBook Air and unplug the power adapter. Then use a soft, lint-free cloth
dampened with just water and wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen.
Also, you'll find plenty of suggestions by searching through the many existing threads on this topic. Here's a small sampling:
