My laptop lcd screen has many patch marks accumulated over the period of time.Once I tried to remove the same with liquid cleaner but that left with more white patches.What is the best mode & stuff to clean the lcd screen?

I too did that mistake & after that only use plain water with lint free cloth, I am looking to remove those ugly marks on my lcd.

use the "Colin" Cleansing liquid.

Its completely safe to use, i use it for my Desktop Monitor & my bros. Laptop LCD.
You can use to clean your whole Laptop too, coz it does affect the Paints.

You have use a VERY SOFT COTTON CLOTH (try the yellow cloth) or a "baniyan" :D will do fine :D..
Just polish (rub) a little while, even after the cleansing liquid has dried off.

I use a soft cloth and plain clean (aquaguard ;)) water. The cloth has to be semi-dry and not fully wet.

But how get the ugly marks removed from the LCD which is caused by using Colin or any other liquid.

Thanks Manas for that link.
I did use iso-propyl alcohol which created those marks but I sprayed it directly on to LCD "Which I should not have done"
May be I try the alternative way to spray it on cloth & then wipe the lcd screen.
