I recently replaced the outer infotainment screen cover on my 2014 IS250 - suffered from the the known issue of the anti-glare coating coming off when cleaned with just water and microfiber cloth. When I installed the new cover, I got a finger print on it - trying to clean with water and microfiber cloth just smeared it around and I was fearful of trying any cleaner for fear of damaging the coating again. I reached out to Lexus corporate help line explaining the issues with the old one and the desire not to harm the new one and requested the appropriate cleaning method to remove fingerprints, etc off the screen. I received a response today saying they reached out to my local dealer for the answer and were told they recommend a window cleaner (without ammonia) and a microfiber cloth.

For those who have the updated cover with the more robust anti glare coating, what have you used to clean your screen? Has anyone ever used a non-ammonia window cleaner to remove fingerprints?

Any input is appreciated.

 

I use Invisible Glass spritzed on a cloth to clean mine. Been about 12 months and I don’t have any wear or tear so far. If mine ever starts peeling out of warranty I’m definitely going to just get the Carplay unit.

 

All is needed is a damp (just plain water) quality microfiber cloth to gently get off smudges or fingerprints. If it's just dust, use a can of compressed air.
