What should I use to wash (not polish or remove scratches) from my wood trim?

I have a bunch of fingerprints and smudges from my tip shifter install. Is Windex bad for the wood trim? What should I use to clean it up?

Here's what I've used for years now to clean my interior: vaccuum cleaner, Swiffer cloths (static pads), Lint roller (adhesive tape), leather lotion, towel and little water. No other chemicals and it still looks like new!

That said, Pledge will make it look nice anyway.

That's why Plexus works well. It's made to clean and condition plastic.
