At a glance, that doesn't look like anything permanent. I always kept my GamePad spotless (damn that glossy finish), never had a scratch on it -- but mine certainly looked worse a few times after having a bunch of pizza-eating people over for Smash Bros. Always just used electronics wipes -- something like these. They left streaks on the GamePad's gloass, so once it was fully dry, I buffed it with a microfiber cloth. Looked like new.
Personally, I've pretty much stopped using canned air for dusting unless I have to, as I was sick and tired of sneezing and dusting all of MY equipment after I finished with customer equipment (also, it's pretty gross when you think of what that stuff is). Personally, I think water is a bad choice. A single drop gets where it doesn't belong and you potentially release the magic smoke.
My professional opinion is vacuums/cleaner wipes are the way to go.
For the vacuum, you don't want to use your home vacuum, as the air going through the tubes generates static electricity, and static+computers=bad. Metro Vacuums has a line called DataVac that are ESD safe. I own the middle option both at work and at home.

High volume (This one can use HEPA filters that can block toner particles, a must if you plan on cleaning laser printers/copers. The other units can't filter the tiny particles, and the supposedly make their way into the motor and chew stuff up, and aren't good to breathe either) - http://amzn.com/B000RMQJBK
I also use generic electronics cleaner wipes (like these: http://amzn.com/B004GCUJWM) to get all the smudgy stuff off of laptops. For the really grody ones, clorox wipes. I just don't hit the screen, and I usually follow up with an electronics wipe, as the clorox wipes leave streaks.
edit: I know the vacs aren't cheap, but canned air is freaking expensive too. At $3 a can, the ROI is pretty short on these vacs if you do much work on computers. I always clean any computer/server that comes across my workbench, as it just makes working on them easier, and improves customer satisfaction. I think of it like taking your car into the dealership for an oil change and finding out they washed and vacuumed it. It's just pleasant, and it takes less than 5 minutes.
I picked up these Windex electronic wipes at Lowe's or Home Depot or something a year or two ago, they work great for cleaning screens and stuff! I wipe down everything electronic with them, TV, monitor, laptop, including the outside case, keyboard, and trackpad. I usually hit the keyboard with some compressed air first. Works great and I haven't had any issues ever!
I bought these for my TV, Xbox, etc., and found out they work really well on my iPhone too
