Default Keepin DVD nav. screen clean

I guess im not the only one with this problem.

How do you guys keep the DVD Navigation screen free from "oily fingerprints".
It seems impossible to avoid the prints. Any suggestions on how to clean it, keep it clean?

Keep a microfibre cloth in the car, and a small bottle of window cleaner without ammonia. I use a little 2 oz spray bottle from the drug store "travel" section.

The screen has a coating on it. Never use anything rough on the screen like a paper towel or a cloth with any polyester in it. Cleaners with ammonia will also harm the coating.

For light jobs, the cloth without any cleaner may do the trick, but the prints are grease, and you do want to emulsify them to remove them. Otherwise, you are just spreading the grease around to form a thin layer, which will eventually build up.

The cleaning ritual is a small price to pay for the great convenience of the touch screen, which is far quicker and easier to use than external buttons and *****.

I use a simple eyeglass cleaning cloth. Easy to tuck away for whenever you need to use it...

I use a Palm Pilot pointer to touch the screen, not my fingers. Otherwise, I use a microfiber cloth with plain water.
