Re: Cleaning instrument glass
Damp towel (water), then buff lightly with dry soft towel.
No need for windex, after all, it's just dust and a bit of chemical haze/film that easily wipes off with water as the solvent. Different brands of window cleaners can have bleaches and/or chemical detergents, vinagars, etc... that can discolor leather or plastics if drips or spots aren't caught and mopped dry quickly. I don't use any formal "cleaner" in my interior, unless it's damn necessary. Usually, a damp towel is all you need, with frequent wipings, to keep surfaces as-new and operating-room clean.
I see so many interiors ruined by people , if I can analogize to the extreme, insisting on using a blow-torch and gasoline to mop up perspiration smudges and dust.
Just as you never want to put a band-aid on a broken arm, don't prescribe a body-cast for a paper cut.
Not sure why I went off on such a tangent, I just see too many "chemicals" prescribed for the simplest of cleaning chores.

Re: Cleaning instrument glass
It's acrylic (I'm guessing) so be very careful to lift off, or roll off dust and dirt with a well-washed cotton towel. I use a *natural* bristle paint brush (with tape around metal parts) and flick dirt into a nearby vacuum. Dang acrylic stuff is trouble since it gets static charge so easily which attracts more dust, so a wipe with damp cloth should follow. Dampness discharges charge added by vacuum and brush. 
Oh, another impt point: I avoid cleaning it as much as possible since everytime you clean it, unless you're NASA, you cause slight, yet cumulative damage to it.
