    Best way to clean sounder screen...?

    I'm looking for ideas on the best way to clean a modern sounder/ GPS screen. The anti glare sunlit viewable coating is susceptible to scratching, so keen to know how others keep their screen clean and avoid scratching.

    I use UVEX on my sunglasses (alcohol based) and works a treat, can you use that on the screen of my HDS 10?

    just usually wipe the screen with a warm wet cloth, but if u dont want the streaks use windex maybe?

    I use Mequiars Quick interior detailer. Don't ask why, I just tried it one day and it seems to work well. Use it with a clean Microfibre cloth.

    I just use the microfibre on sunnies and gps screens, spit on them if I have to rather than use anything alcolhol or chem based. But that's being cautious.

    Warm water and a soft cloth is what i've always used no chemicals.

    Yeah, warm water, very soft cloth, very gentle wiping action. Seems to do the trick.

    I rinse mine under the tap in the kitchen sink ( screen only) on very low and use a very soft brush, I don't wipe the screen with anything. still like new and no scratches.

    I'm usually 100m out from the ramp when I notice how dirty the screen is so I look down and pick the cleanest (not usually easy) corner of my shirt and wipe it with that.
    But I'm gunna look for some of that cleaner from Harvey Norman , sounds good.

    thanks all for the comments. warm water is a good idea, but not generally available when out on the water. The sunglass microfibre cloth is a good idea too.
