How do you clean these things? One has marks all over it and it looks terrible.

Clean the film?

Are you talking about regular cleaning or when you're actually putting it on?

I noticed that after applying it I have reduced the smudge factor by 50%, if not more.

For those of you who have yet to apply it, don't use a terry cloth towel as it just creates this tiny little hairs that stick to the back of the film. I wasted my first film doing that since they don't come off.

I bought some of these today. They are great for the screen, but they hold smudges way more than the screen by itself. I have just been using a microfiber cloth I use to clean my LCD's with.

If you accidentally touch the "sticky" inside part of the protector screen (which gets a perfect very visible finger print) you can just use water and a lint-free cloth such as a pec-pad used for cleaning digital camera sensors. Worked great. Still very sticky when dried off.
