I remember when I had a tv in my old car they car wash people messed it up by pressing to hard on the screen and putting some sort of liquid on it. Im afraid this will happen again, so what do you guys use to clean your Nav screens from all those fingerprints? Windex? water?

HellaWhat

Have u used the towelette that Acura supplied you with? For normal greasy fingers, this tends to do the job. I've used a small amount of windex and that did the job too.

I use my own man juice.

I dont want to even know what that means..... so windex is ok for the Nav screen? I heard people say its ok.. and some people say not to do it. PLus I bought the car used so I didnt get those rags your talking about.

HellaWhat

Moo, don't ever touch my NAVI screen again!

Windex should be fine.

Owners manual says to use a soft, damp cloth.

My dealer told me not to use Windex. Only use those solutions for computer monitor.

Good Ride

You can get one of those really soft cloths like a lens cleaning cloth at a camera store. That's pretty similiar to what the car comes with. And don't let them clean it at the car wash!

You can use laptop screen cleaners.

I would use water and a soft cloth, I heard when you use Windex (has amonia) it will mess up your screen display... Anyways that's just my 2 cents..

No windex.
No ammonia.
No window cleaners.
No caustics whatsoever.

Just use the plain microfiber cloth that came with the car.

If you feel it's really necessary you can use an agent designed for your computer LCD monitor (which is just weak soap and water).

do the 2003 come with that little blue cloth in the consule thingy ? I still have mine and ONLY use that. Manual says to avoid using anything else !

Slimey

Yes, but my microfiber cloth was gray, not blue.

LiLMaN

WEll I bought the car used.. so I have no idea what you guys mean by the factory clothe... but I guess I will go buy one of those eye glass clothe the real soft ones.. and use water?

soopa

DONT USE WINDEX


I use the cloth that came with it most times.


When I need to clean off them pesky stuck on mcdonalds french fry prints I use moist Eye Glass wipes.

works like a charm.

Microfiber Towel with distilled water (or my bottle of Crystal Geyser == drink and/or clean).

Here is a handy link to some of the best MF towels around (check out the Elites in light blue). Elites go for about $3-$5 each depending on quantity. IMO, they are as good as the YoSteve MFs and work great on the interior, outside, and glass.

There are sales at times, and I got 25 of them for about $3 each (free shipping during the sale) and they rock for cleaning the Navi screen.

I keep one in a Ziploc and drag it around with a few bottles of “clean” water.

Correct! Do not use amonia based glass cleaner. To make the unit touch screen capable there is a clear membrane laid over the LCD. Amonia will damage that membrane and make it less sensative. A strong mix of amonia will even dissolve the membrane and render the touch capability useless! BTW this applies to any touch screen device!

Yea Im gonna go order some of those microfiber towels. How long did it take for yours to come in? Well I'll place the order right now.. thanks again..

dbox

Next day, but I called Ian. He has been very good with me. If you concerned, send an e-mail and ask for the phone number (it's not handy at this moment).
