Default The best way to clean finger prints off the Nav

Like many people, I hate finger prints on my nav screen. I tried the screen protector and didnt have much luck with it. A few week ago, we went out for dinner at a chain restaurant and notice a bottle of screen cleaner next to their touch screen coumputer. I copied down the name and order it online and recieved it 2 days ago. This stuff is called X-Clean and made here locally in Massachusetts.

http://www.xcln.com/

Its supposed to leave a coating that resist finger prints and dust. I had it on for 2 days so far and no finger prints at all. I even try using the screen functions more than I normally do and so far so good. I will let you guys know how long this stuff last before I have to re-apply.

No it doesnt come with a micro fiber cloth.

I used to use a micro fiber cloth to clean it too, but the finger prints comes back in a day or 2. I apply the x-clean with a micro fiber terry cloth and still no finger prints after 3 days I figure I cant go wrong for $12 and its free shipping too.

I use the wet & dry naps used to clean LCD screens. Works great!

A damp microfiber does the trick for me.

i ordered mine as you as you posted the original but not here yet. now i can't wait. i have one of those protector shields on. i don't think i'm any better at it than the rest, i just got lucky on got it on with no air bubbles. so it's a nice extra shield for the screen but it's just as prone to fingerprints. any day now, i can feel it.
