Check out the "Detailing 101" forum, that will give you hours of research on opinions on the best way to maintain the piano black.

Feather brush off the dust first before gently using damp cotton or chamois.

The key is to remove all the dust away first.

Once it's clean, don't let anyone touch it.

I used a mixture of water and DP's Slick with a microfiber cloth. It seemed to work well.

Truer words were never spoken.

Plexus plastic polish is marvellous. It seems to fill in or 'erase' the scratches. Carry around a MF for the fingerprints.
