Ignore any cleaning tips that appear in this thread and ask the manufacturer (of the brushed aluminum faceplate, not the black crap).
A well respected manufacturer told me they clean their gear w/Windex. I've been using Windex for 5+ yrs. & never had a problem & the gear always looks better.
IME, Windex is great for finger print type stains, but totally ineffective for dark gooey stuff. It just smears it around. Goof Off is amazing for these kind of problems. If you follow it with Windex your stain should be history.
I use Goo Gone. Probably the long lost brother of Goo Off. Got it at Loews.
Works like magic.
