Anyone have any tricks to clean the radio screen ?

Seems to me like I can never get all of the finger prints out of my screen...maybe you guys have any tricks or tips? I have the 5 inch screen, if that makes a difference..

You could try a glass cleaner rag like for glasses or I've used the one that came with my tv before. Worth a shot.

Edit: i wouldn't use the spray I'm not sure if it would harm the screen or not.

That's exactly my issue.. the screen seems very easy to stain with the wrong cleaner on it.. it's not the end of the world for me, just my ocd starts to kick in when I see fingerprints on it lol.

They sell a monitor spray cleaner. Use a microfiber cloth. I use it to clean my tv's phones comperter screens. It would probably work on the touchscreen. Just sp any on the cloth then wipe the screen down.

I just use either a damp cloth or glass cleaner on mine, not sure of the brand though

I use a microfiber rag and clinical alcohol if it's really smeared- mostly when my wife starts touching it with her constant lotion on her fingers...
I barely use the radio screen- because I always listen to the same station and all settings are set, so there is no need to touch it. usually the microfiber rag does a good job on it's own.

Normally a dry microfiber works for me. I go over it every week or so.

I use this cleaner and a microfiber towel. Just spray a little on the towel and kinda rub the towel on its self and wipe the screen. It gets it just enough wet to clean and not so wet that it will leave streaks. Oh another note, use the same technique but with more cleaner when you do the inside of your windshield. Go heavy the first time, lightly the next and flip and wipe kinda fast to reduce or have no streaks. There is also those electronic wipes they sell at stores that work good as well.

Meant to say this too, this glass cleaner is window tint safe and doesn't contain chemicals found in like your household window cleaner.

Just a dry microfiber towel works for me.....I also tell my wife to keep her smudge-cup fingers off the screen, (and the windows, vanity mirror, rear view mirror, my iPhone, sunglasses, reading glasses....you get the point:)

Just use a microfiber towel, not a terry cloth because it will scratch the screen, spray either some windex or cinch or another other window cleaning product onto the microfiber towel and gently go over the screen. You can go the detailer's route and by like Invisible Glass or another window cleaner but all you really need is just the common house hold product like Windex. Now if you're going to clean your windows its another story and that I would highly recommend Invisible Glass for that.

Hope this helps!
