My 86 year old dad accidentally sprayed bug spray last year with the nozzle facing the wrong way. Went right on my gps screen. I didn't see until later what appeared to be permanent damage and heard horror stories that you are basically screwed. I called Hbird, left a few posts online...no one offered any hope.
Then, someone sent me an article by Rick Clunn who said to get a good quality paper towel (Brawny, Bounty) and cut it to the exact size of the gps screen. Soak the paper towel in 50-50 water/vinegar and then place directly on the screen. Let it sit for an hour, take off, clean carefully with a lens cloth. I was not optimistic but ecstatic when I removed the cloth and it was 100% back to normal.
Dodged a bullet there ~
Yeah right, and at that point what do you got to lose. That was pretty much where I was before going with the plastic headlight cleaner... that saved the day for me.
I'm pretty well convinced that the Rain x helps to protect the screen from the elements too, and it sure helps looking at it when it's wet/raining. Glad to hear it worked out because it sure sucks looking at a funky screen all day.
"Rain X Glass Treatment seals the microscopic pores of glass with a super slick, non stick invisible barrier that repels rain, sleet, and snow on contact. Rain drops bead up and are blown away by the aerodynamic wind flow from driving giving you better visibility in bad weather. Rain X Glass Treatment also makes for easy removal of frost, ice, salt, mud, and bugs. This is the original Invisible Windshield Wiper. 3.5 oz. bottle."
