The touch pad thing gets really oily at the best of times. Is there stuff I can buy to actually clean it? Can I even use anything to clean it or should I just use a clean cloth kinda thing.

Avoid those harsh chemicals / cleaners... they can ruin the paint or surface. Isopropyl Alcohol is the most common and is pretty much safe anywhere.

You could use non-streaking glass cleaner.
