    Hello Everyone -

    What do you use to clean the LCD touchscreen? I don't want to scratch it with paper towels but I don't want to use a standard LCD screen spray cleaner just due to the moisture factor.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks

    I just use a dry microfiber towel and it gets all the finger prints off.

    This is great for routine dusting and also leaves no streaks on the head unit screens.

    Pre-moistened Bausch and Lomb lens cleaning wipes work very well.

    I buy them at either WalMart or Meijer in the eye care section.

    McKee's Fast Interior Detailer is a great product. No streaking on touch screens.

    This is what I use and I try to avoid eating KFC in the 4, but it's hard not to. Truly a struggle for me. :anonymous:

    I would use the bags that come with my Oakley's or I'd take a microfiber towel and spray just a little bit cleaner on that to clean the screen if you have an dry crust spots left behind from your greasy french fry fingers....basically same way you'd clean a TV. Just never spray the cleaner directly on the screen.

    I usually use the bottom of the t-shirt I'm wearing. If it's cold out, then it's the sleeve of my sweatshirt. No scratches.

    I've used Windex and microfibre. Never had an issue spraying the screen on any vehicle except the 20. That screen needs a protector, 1st I've needed one out of a couple dozen trucks and cars over the years.

    Many device owners encounter the same issue while trying to clean their iTouch screen or computer touch screen: the screen stops operating after cleaning. Make sure your cloth isn't overly wet before using it to wipe your surfaces because too much moisture could be the cause of this.
