Question What to use to clean the Navi Screen?

I got my car washed this past weekend and I just noticed some water stains on the Navi's screen. I want to clean it again but I want to make sure that I use the right product. What do you guys use? It doesn't look like an LCD screen but more like a front cover however I could be wrong. Thanks!

That's what came to mind first but since windex is so abrasive I am concern that it may damage the screen.

Or you could use a terry cloth or a micro fiber cloth..
Windex will not hurt the screen but you can also get screen cleaners. Or you use to clean your desktop/laptop screens

I use the same screen cleaner I use on my LCD monitors and TVs - Monster Screen Cleaner and a micro fiber cloth. I've never had an issue...

Yes....It's drastically overpriced like every other Monster product, but it's a fairly thick/gel-like liquid that doesn't run down into components, so I like it.

Since I never actually touch the navi screen, it only gets a little dusty. I keep a 3M microfiber cloth in the car to wipe it. Even if it had some fingerprints on it, a tiny bit of water on the cloth would easily clean it. There's really no need for any additional cleaners. It should be obvious to anyone that the screen is not a touchscreen!

I know the screen is not a touchscreen. The only reason I asked the question is because I could see water stains from the time I took the car to the Car Wash. I just wanted to find out what was the best way to clean it.

Yup, same here. I use the Monster Screen Clean. Never spray it directly on the screen, a couple of pumps in the cloth (that sounds a little wrong ) and its good to go.

Just a side note on the Monster Screen Clean....I bought my first MSC kit in July of 2008. I just received another one this past Christmas and those cheap buggers at Monster have reduced the size of the blue micro-fiber cloth you get by almost half!! But hey, at least they kept the price the same. haha

Here's some pics.
