Ok, I'm now the proud father of a brand new IS 350. 2 weeks old though, and the Nav screen already looks like it's had a year's worth of my grubby fingers... What should I clean it with?

DaveGS4 over in the 2IS forum suggested one of PakShak's Micro Fiber towels... but there's 5 different kinds! Which one do you folks think is best for cleaning the Nav screen? (I may also clean off the wood trim, dashboard, etc. with it)

• Ultra
• Ultra-Smooth
• Ultra-Plush
• Ultra-Fine
• Waffle weave glass towel

Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance for help. Apologies if this question has already been discussed/answered at length, but my search only turned up a couple of posts 2-3 years old. (here and here)

 

Any screen cleaner for PC screens (antistatic), plus a 3M lens cleaning microfiber, or silk lens cloth. Antistatic screen wipes will do, but some leave a residue. It is very convenient to leave a container of antistatic screen wipes in your car.

 

PS: DO NOT clean the dash or trim with the same cloth that you clean the screen with. Any particles that you pick up on those other surfaces will scratch your screen. That's why wipes are good, you use them once and toss them out. It's worth the extra that you pay.

 

yeah i use this Allsop Clear View Wipes for Computers, scanners, monitors, printers, and laptops

i have LCDs and laptops at home so buying this bottle makes sense to me since i use it a lot

 

Ok, so if antistatic screen wipes are the most convenient, can you recommend some that don't leave a residue?

 

the one i said above doesnt leave residue
its meant for LCD screens which has the same surface as the NAVI screens

i just used it on my 01 GS navi screen yesterday, worked out pretty well

 

Thanks, I think I'm gonna order some off their site. 8 bucks for 100 wipes (shipped) doesn't seem too bad to me... is that what you usually pay for them?

 

For you Mac users out there, I believe it would be fine to use the iKlear product used for cleaning screens.

I use PakShak ultrafines on my nav/lev.

 

A lightly water dampened microfiber will work just fine.

 

I personally use my oakley sunglasses case. It does the job very well. It is a pet peeve of mine to see all the finger prints.

i got mine locally but for about the same price before shipping since i didnt have to pay shipping

 

Will sunlight harm the screen? I'm wondering if I should consider COVERING the screen when I park the car. I wonder if the sunlight might affect the screen.
Is there any (aftermarket) cover I can buy to cover my 2020 NX screen ?

 

You should be fine. If anything tint your windows. It will protect your entire interior from harmful rays.
