Default cleaning the digital cluster...

I have used previous cloths to clean the dust that builds up in the gauge cluster and to my finding have found that it produced fine scratches and i dont want it to do it to the s2k. anyone know of a good thing to clean the gauge cluster with? is microfiber safe enough? i bought some at pep boys and i hope it's not cheap imitation ones simliar to chamois, which you can find some that are fake.

I have used the cheap mf 'rags' from pepboys (the multicolored ones) and it cleans the cluster just fine. No scratches at all yet.

For brick and mortar places, some marine/boating supply places have Plexus, although I don't know if it will be "cheap".
