cleaning the speedometer

What do you guys use to clean the speedometer (2019)? I always run into issues with smear marks left over.

Subscribed. Have run into this issue since my first M5.

Thanks for the suggestion! I previously tried these in individual lens wipes from a different brand (Zeiss) and they left streaks.

Also previously tried the spray cleaner for TV screens, straight up rubbing alcohol amongst other things. Always streaked still.

I use a simple waffle weave microfiber. No liquid but if liquid is needed I use invisible glass lightly sprayed onto the towel first. Same way I clean my tvs. No streaks.
