Plastic Screen Cleaner...

[+alexm]

I know this has probably been covered no less than a zillion times, but I can't seem to find anything in the archives (old board maybe?)

 

I've managed to transfer a sizeable amount of OFF! onto the screen of my Meridian Gold. I've tried the standard rinse with water, soapy water, windex, 409, and am about to try things much worse to try to get the little white blotches and streaks off.

 

A while back, something similar had happened and I managed to use some off-the-wall thing to clean it and it worked marvelously (not tooth paste, rubbing alcohol, or peanut butter, I don't think).

 

Anybody have a clue what I can use to restore my Maggy's spotless screen?

 

Thanks!

This isn't an "off the wall" product but something made especially for cleaning/polishing/maintaining clear plastic:

Look for Meguiar's Plastic Cleaner, Plastic Polish, and Plastic Detailer. You can order the stuff from the above link but you can also find it at your local auto parts store. Here in So. CA, Pep Boys, Kragen and Auto Zone carry the stuff. I've used it for many years and it's great stuff. I use this mainly to remove tiny scratches and to polish clear plastic.

 

I also use KlearScreen

http://www.klearscreen.com/

 

to maintain and keep the screens (notebook screens/monitors/GPSRs/clear plastic stereo equipment lenses) static-free and looking great. This is readily available in So. CA at all Fry's Electronics.

 

Maybe somebody here will recommend what you used in the first place on your GPSR...I'm just adding some suggestions here on what I personally use.

I personally use the same stuff that I got to clean my eyeglasses (which are lightweight plastic lenses). I just use a single drop at a time and clean using a silk cloth - not paper which is abrasive. Works for me.
