What should i use to clean my LCD touchscreen?

I've got the AVIC D3 unit and with it being touchscreen it gets smudged up easily. What can i clean it with without worrying about damaging it?



Edit - not sure if this is exactly the right spot for this thread, if not please feel free to move it

Mix up 1/3 91% isopropyl alcohol and 2/3 filtered water, and use a microfiber towel. Dust it first so you don't scratch it.

That's about what I do on my lcd's but i'm too cheap/lazy to buy the wipes.
Wipes always seem kinda rough to me but I'm sure they don't hurt anything.

I have a bottle of Monster Screen Cleaner (alcohol free) that i use on my Samsung 650 LCD TV and on my Laptop. Stuff works great and has lasted me what seems like forever so far. You can get it at Best Buy, Circuit City, etc etc.

Is $25 really that much money? lol...seriously? .........I bought the stuff almost a year and a half ago and still have half a bottle left...well worth the money. But i guess i hear ya, times can be rough and money can be tight. I'm by no means rich (wish i was), but to me $25 is not to hard to part with to keep all my very expensive items clean.

$10 for a tub of 100 wipes vs $25 for the Monster. I'd do the $10. 100 wipes will last for a looong time and you don't need a seperate towel.

I don't have an LCD screen in my car, but just wondering for a computer, does megs detailer line glass cleaner have alcohol in it? If it doesn't, would that work on the screen?

The video said DO NOT use alcohol but some of you guys just use a mix of alcohol with water, isn't that going to damage your screen?

Exactly. I use distilled water and a Microfiber. Works great.
