Location: Duluth, MN | Normally i wouldn't say much good about Monster products as they are typically WAY over priced. But this can be found pretty reasonably if you shop around and it works great for any screen.

| I've found that the use of a light mixture of white vinegar and water work well with a terry cloth. Way cheaper than buying an expensive cleaner and works great! |

Location: Wisconsin | Distilled water and alcohol mix and a microfibre cloth (lens cloth). Don't use windex, and the acid in vinegar might etch the screen and damage the coatings. |

Location: Geneva, IL | I have restored to like new, GPS, fish finder screens, helmut visors and car scratches with Novus plastic polish:

Meguiar's works too:

| I use the distilled water and alcohol mix. A few years ago, Lowrance started recomending using this as a screen cleaner. 50% isopropyl alcohol/50%distilled water. Works great, some of the tougher spots require letting it sit a while and then using a little elbow grease with a soft cloth. I was told by a Lowrance rep not to use windex as it will dry out the screen gaskets. I always cover my locators if anyone in the boat is putting on bug spray- I have read a lot of story's about screens being ruined by the over spray.

Location: Wishin I Was Fishin' | I keep a little bottle of vinegar in the boat to clean the screen with the lowrance cloth it came with.
I've had bug spray etch into a screen already. I used crest toothpaste on an old clean t-shirt to buff it out. Plastic polish would probably be easier but toothpaste, water and elbow grease will get it done too.
I recently saw a plastic headlight lense polishing kit at Autozone that would work too.
Aerosal bug spary is not allowed in the boat anymore. Bad for plastic windshields too.
