I use the silicone cloth that came with my Pro Shot cleaning kit, and it leaves a wonderful look and finish on my LCR. It even seems to protect against finger smudges.

I can't recommend it highly enough.

I buy different ones. Some are just general purpose terry. Some are cotton made for gun cleaning, untreated and kind of expensive. The others I just started using since switching to FrogLube. They're a soft microfiber cloth made for cleaning computer screens. I wash all of mine and reuse them. The microfibers are great and fairly cheap at a computer/electronics store.

I use a silicone treated cloth to wipe my guns and it seems to leave a coating that keeps fingerprints from making such a mess.
