ALIENWARE 18 CLEANING TIPS

I just purchased a new Alienware 18 laptop a few days ago and I have begun to notice that the palmrest and keyboard is getting oily and dirty. I don't want to put anything on it to ruin the surface. The documentation for this device is surprisingly lack considering the $4k I paid for it. I can't seem to find any document that discusses general how to's for using the device let alone how to clean it. The quick start guide only shows labels for ports and buttons and not features. The owners manual only shows how to uninstall and reinstall everything(which is helpful for upgrades later), but no specific usage instructions. Does anyone have any idea about this?

honestly  I got a m18X R2,  when I  had to clean the  soft touch  material like on keyboard/palmrest etc I used a microfiber cloth either very very dry damp with LCD cleaner or lcd clear wipes, haven't  had an  issue yet and  almost 2 years..

I have LCD cleaner and microfiber cloth but I was afraid the LCD cleaner may ruin the finish.The cloth works great for dust but its the oily spots that I want gone. I'll test the LCD cleaner but are there any products made specifically for this?
