Question Newbie question: Cleaning car audio/nav system

What do you use for cleaning the audio/navigation system in your TL?
Specifically, is it ok to use standard wet/dry LCD wipes to clean the nav screen?
My 3 year-old got her grubby fingerprints all over the display.
TIA.

I use Maguire's Quick Detail and it works great on the screen. Just spray a little on a microfiber cloth and wipe away (it never streaks). It also works great on our lovely plastic engines (lol)

I use a slightly damp terrycloth on the Nav screen (and everywhere else on the dash/console).

I have heard that ammonia in regular glass cleaner (ie.windex) is bad for touch LCD screens...i just use a damp microfiber towel

A microfiber damp with plain warm water should do the trick.. and its safe too.
