Don't ever use cleaning agents for ur screen. It may damage ur screen and then u'l b also not able to take warranty advantage. Use only soft cotton cloth for cleaning.

I do that all the time, but do not spray collin directly to phone cause it may get into some pores. Spray cloth with collin then use it on the screen.

I always use colin, although all my touch phones till date have had screen protector from day one .
Colin is certainly not suitable to use with certain matte LCD screens as these use a thin layer for the matte finish, which can go bad when colin is applied. Use slightly moist cotton cloth for such screens.

Apply colins on lint Free cloth & now wipe your screen with the same. never apply Colins directly on the touch screen or straight on the panel. It might damage your speakers also, due to water entry.

Use something like this - Screen Cleaner -2 Go- Kit with Free Bonus Kit Perfect for iPhone Droid iPad-ATP | eBay

AM not sure of Colin's effect on the screen, whichever liquid you apply, don't spray directly on the screen, it'll kill many things.

A friend of mine who has a shop uses a liquid which is made by the same company which makes 'Silvo' polish, he takes it on his finger and puts on the screen directly and wipes it with a cloth that comes with the scratch guard packet. This ritual is done before applying a scratch guard and after removing a stupid one.

Now I know why your screen is always slimy.

There are some good micro fiber cloths available, and some phone charms which double up as screen cleaners.
