it will also remove some of the satin wax which gives the satin finish its
sheen.  Windex, GlassPlus, etc. does the same thing only worse.  Generally,
a warm, moist cloth will remove the smudge, or a few drops of dishwashing
liquid in a bucket or sink full of water if plain water won't.  All you are
trying to remove is a slightly oily smudge from a waxed, non porous
surface.  It shouldn't take anything more than a very mild soapy solution
to accomplish the goal.  Strong cleaners are overkill, and can cause more
problems than they rectify.
