Default What do you use on display screen?

I'm wondering what you other folks use to wipe down the high resolution display with the radio/nav etc on it. Not the speedo screen above the steering wheel. I have tried the microfiber cloth that you would use on your glasses or phone but I can still see fingerprints on it at the right angle. Would like to find something I could keep on hand in the truck to hit it with whenever I see it needs it. I'll tell you what though this detailing thing/ trying to keep a new truck looking perfect is truly a madness. My wife would agree... Lol

I use a microfiber, but not as fine as the glasses cloth.

You can dab a drop of water on the display and use the cloth to buff.
I do not know if it would hold up to any cleaners. I have never had to use a cleaner to know of results.

Same, I'm half scared to put any chemicals on it. I feel like its similar to spraying a tv screen or something that is somewhat fragile and easy to ruin. Ill try that though, thanks.

I'd use something like this, followed by a microfiber towel.

Distilled water and vinegar (50/50) is recommended, though i suspect those screen wipes are probably better. I normally just go over it with my interior cleaner, probably not the best.

I usually keep a bottle of Optimum No Rinse Diluted 1:16 on hand as a detail spray and typically just mist a couple sprays into a microfiber for the screen. I wouldn't spray directly on the screen.

I use a MF towel specific for glass and a glass cleaning solution that I use on my optics and home computer screens

Same here. Very light pressure and I haven't had any scratches yet. Get a good MF cloth though and make sure its clean.

So, stuff like invisible Glass, and a microfiber aren't recommended?
