I am tired of having water spots on my electronics, I have tried using soft materials mixed with saliva, also tried using contact solution....

Wanted to see what everyone was using to clean their electronics.

best way to keep your lcd screens nice and clean is to wipe them down before/after you are on the water...lots of options, a mixture of vinegar/distilled water in a small spray bottle and one of those microfiber wipes works well, as does the Pledge multi surface wipes.... or you can get small bottles of lcd cleaner on ebay as well...I got 10 little 3 oz bottles for super cheap and just keep one in the boat w a microfiber wipe and wipe them all down while my buddy parks the truck ...

I use the non-ammonia Windex and a microfiber cloth. Works well for me.

Meguiar's Clear Plastic Cleaner #17 works very well.

I use eye glass cleaner. Works good and easy to store the small bottle in the boat.

I have not tried the plastix, I think my bottle of the #17 will last me forever...

No more spots on my units after a good buddy shared with me the White Vinegar and water trick. One small spray bottle lasts forever too!

I like the vinegar/water idea. Is there a specific mixture ratio? Also any recommendations on the cloth to wipe down with? I have been using eye glass cleaning cloths and the are ok at best. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

The stuff I use on mine is called sparkle-it I believe? I picked it up at Menards. Works great! Whatever you use make sure it is amonia-free

50/50 ratio is fine...doesn't need to be exact, just eye it up...
