I'd recommend a lint free cloth, or as GWRedDragon stated, a shirt.
Preferably an old 100% cotton t-shirt. If anything, rip one up and keep a rag in the glove compartment. I do now, right next to my stylus <g>

Don't use paper towels, or kleenex, or any paper products...they are made of wood...and wood scratches...USE 100% cotton

Micro fiber towels. For particularly tough smudges, a drop of 35mm Nikon lens cleaner from your favorite 1 Hour photo lab.

Rubbing alcohol is commonly used for cleaning electronics. (pcb's and such)
Not sure how well it would take paint off though. |

some light solvent maybe, I can't tell you if it will damage anything or not.... but you took that risk when you painted it.

what kind of paint is it? rubbing alc. should take care of most paints if you let it set for a little while...but it may coat your screen making it unviewable;

If the paint is light overspray, you may want to try a little rubbing alcohol and a q-tip. Goof-Off may work as well.
I bet you'll take it apart next time......

Go to an eyeglass place and get a cleaning cloth from them. They are only a couple of buck and will work better than anything else. And they will not scratch the screen what so ever.

Goof-off is great for latex-based paints. Cuts it right up. Good for getting gum off your shoe, too  |
