Cleaning the Touch Screen
New to the forum, but have been lurking until I finally got my GS350 (black sapphire pearl/cashmere, ML/nav). There is some very good info here that helped me make my decision (thanks). Picked it up this week in Houston and so far, so good. Does anyone have a good recommendation on the best way to clean the touch screen? Fingerprints build up quickly.

Congrats! I'm sure you will love your new GS! The touchscreen should be treated like any flat panel monitor. A slightly damp cloth is all it takes. If you really don't like fingerprints, you can get a product called Invisishield or something similar. Invisishield is by far the best because it's slightly squishy if you can invision that. It's more than a protective film so it doesn't show fingerprints at all. They don't have one on the website for the GS but they do have some for Pioneer screens which might work perfectly.

I picked up a micro-cloth from CompUSA that works great without anything else which I keep in the center console. Five dollars well spent.
Here it is...no water, just the cloth.

Thanks for the tips. I'll try a micro cloth (or glass cloth). I replaced my G35 coupe and to anyone considering this move, go for it. Good acceleration and a much more comfortable and quiet ride. For those of you buying in Houston, I went to Sterling McCall Lexus and got a very good deal as well as excellent service.

I use Meguiars Quik Interior Detailer, black bottle, that was transferred to a small spray bottle, wrap the spray bottle in a microfiber cloth and store it in the drivers door pocket. It works great, not only on the Nav screen, but on the insturmentation cluster.

Tex-Lex, could you PM me with the price you wound up paying vs invoice or MSRP? Thanks

Lots of good input. Finally read through some of the manual (It's as thick as War & Peace). According to the manual, Lexus says "Wipe off fingerprints using a glass cleaning cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners to clean the touch
screen." Make sure to tell your car washes not to use any cleaners when they clean and wipe down the interiors.
