Default Cleaning Infortainment window

So what do you use to clean the fingerprints off the screen?

I want to be careful, because it looks like in the corners, the screen doesn't go there completely and any liquid could go in there?

Is yours like that?

Go to a computer store and get a micro fiber cloth and cleaning solution kit for cleaning lap top screens. Spray the cleaner on the cloth, not the actual screen. No need to get the cloth wet, a little goes a long ways.

I've used something like these for years to clean anything smooth (glass, plastic, etc):
Amazon.com: AmazonBasics Microfiber Cleaning Cloth (Pack of 24): Automotive Amazon.com: AmazonBasics Microfiber Cleaning Cloth (Pack of 24): Automotive

You can't go wrong. I use them for glasses, iPhone/iPad, windshield, TV, computer screens. Everything. Wife uses them for everything too.

Same thing I use to clean the rest of the bike...H2O2 and water solution. Cleans streaks, mud, guts, prints and pretty much everything else.

I suspect that though the outer protective surface doesn't extend fully into each corner, behind that the unit's screen is sealed such that no liquid can get in. I've had liquid on mine with no ill effects.

The screen is sealer...there is a cover on the screen - like one you might put on your phone (screen saver). Just wipe it off as others have mentioned.

When it gets too bad - replace it.

I've been through some really strong downpours.....been kind of the theme down here this summer. No worries, it's sealed. Like everyone else, use a microfiber cloth to wipe down the screen and you'll be fine.
