I don't touch my display on my MacBook and it's always yucky because of the finger oils on my keyboard, so the thought of having to use a special cloth to clean it always seemed like too much of a hassle for me compared to the glossy display. I did wonder if this improved ever since they added nano texture to the ipad pro, but sounds like fingerprints are still annoying.

For the longest time, I kept the sheet of foam that comes with the new laptop. Eventually that got lost. I then picked up a pre-cut bit of microfiber that fit the laptop and thin enough to allow for full closing. Once you get in the habit of remembering to put the cloth back before closing the lid, you'll be amazed at your screen's lack of oils.

I can't even type on a keyboard that is oily so I make an effort to never eat around my machine and always keep my hands clean. I clean my macbooks about 1x per month using isopropyl on a microfiber cloth.

I clean my MacBook Pro keyboard daily (or almost every time I use it) with either water only or if it’s really yucky, a ~30% isopropyl alcohol spray.

I use a regular yellow microfiber towel (usually from the giant bag I pick up from Costco every few years)

Afterward I use it to wipe off the screen.

Personally I’ve never had any issues with screen coating except on the older 2012-2015 MacBook Pros where my fingernails eventually caused the coating to scratch by the webcam (when opening the display, I suspect)

A note about new microfiber towels: they need to be washed prior to use or they’ll leave little bits of plastic micro fibers all over whatever you’re trying to clean

Most of the time plain water and moist microfiber towel will make it look new again.

It does nothing for wear on the keycaps though my command key and a few keys like A, Z, W, and S are wearing away and look slightly glossy.

I've found the nano-texture macbook pro screen to be way more resilient, and the cloth that comes with it is (I hate to say it) amazing. I use nearly identical 16" Macbook Pros heavily, one with nano and one without, and the nano is easier to keep perfect, usually with no liquid required. The glossy screen is easily damaged
