Location: Holly, MI | For car bumpers there is a bug and tar remover that works awesome. I think it is a petreolium product so it might hurt your screen. I have used good old gas on a rag for a lot of things. Try it in the very corner to be sure it doesn't hurt the screen. I don't think it will but it is your unit. I would try it on my own. | |

Location: St. Louis, MO., Marco Is., FL, Nestor Falls, ON | What you may have is an etching of the screen from overspray of insect repellant. The oil carrier in the bug spray will permanently mark the screen of your locator. There is a plastic scratch remover and polish available at many auto parts stores. It is usually located where the Meguiar's products and other car polishes are located. It is your best bet for fixing your problem. The name of the product is Meguiar's Plastix Clear Plastic Cleaner and Polish. Good luck! | |

| Ditto on old Bob just above, you are probably seeing the results of bug spray, not bugs. Don't know the answer, try Bob's suggestion. | |
