Have a newish 2021 MBP 16" that I want to make sure I keep the screen immaculate.

Does anyone know what materials the apple polishing cloth uses? (like what % polyester/nylon/etc).

What type of microfiber cloth do you think would do the least damage to a macbook screen when cleaning? Was thinking about just picking up a glass cleaning type MF thing like this: https://theragcompany.com/collections/glass-cleaning-towels/products/premium-glass-window-towel

Though i'm not sure if the final outer coating of MBP screens is actually glass or some kind of strong plastic.
 
looking for the same thing, what is everyone using?

Apple guidelines are really vague, they just say a soft cloth with warm water.

I asked TheRagCompany (makes MF clothes for auto detailing and more) and they suggested 2 to me:

Eagle 350 - for a dry dusting light pass (because you want to get the dust off before rubbing so it doesn't etch in)

Suede - for the polishing - which you should do very lightly
