Cleaning SCT XLT Coating

Greetings,
Apart from the obvious, (Don't rub it, use strong chemicals etc), does anyone have a good method for cleaning an oily film off the surface of a corrector plate in a C11 with XLT coatings? Advice greatly appreciated

Rom

a couple of microfibre lens cloths (i got mine from OPSM) - one to keep dry dry and one for the wet application of the BINTEL snake optical oil that cleans very well and no streaks. its about $10 a bottle and lasts quite well unless you actually drink it. Mike Smith has been using it for years for his hair regrowth.

no circular rubbing, and dont rub hard - its not the dishes
