Screen protector for nav screen.

[DropYaTop]

Ok, I'm tired of the fingerprints on my navigation screen and I don't like wiping it down all the time because I hate the light scratch marks that will eventually appear. Has anyone installed a screen protector yet? If so how did it affect the sensitivity of the touch screen?

what is scratching yours?


i always keep a new microfibre cloth in the glovebox with its only purpose in life is cleaning off fingerprints once every 2 weeks or so (the same one has been in my glovebox since day 3 of owning the car)



to check on the softness of a microfibre cloth take a blank cd and rub with some pressure onto the cd (data side) if heavy marring occurs do not use that type of cloth

or purchase a bottle of monster screenclean which comes with a good microfibre towel

+1 one the monster screen clean. Once you try that I think you'll never go with anything else. I worked at best buy and that was everyones recomendation. Its safe to use on about anything.

I use the Monster Clean Screen kit. I have some very slight scratches you can barely see in direct sunlight but I am very **** retentive about my "Blu". I've used PhantomSkinz on my smartphone and it works perfectly. The material doesn't hamper the touchscreen sensitivity and actually has a slight "healing" property which slowly fills in light scratches. I'm thinking about buying some in bulk and applying it to my nav screen. There are a couple of companies out there (Nushields for one) which sell precut shields for our systems for about $20. I just wanted to hear if anyone has done this yet.

Please try it and post your comments on how it worked, that might serve us! Thanks,

I have been wiping the off the screen with a microfiber cloth I keep in the glove box for over a year and no scratches.

I too use just plain old microfiber on the screen and have yet to have any scratches. I've used microfiber that I picked up at Autozone as well as some that I've purchased from Autogeek.net, no issues with either. I also use this along with some Details Pro interior detail spray on microfiber to clean the fake carbon fiber trim and don't have scratches.

I would recommend cutting your fingernails.

 

[DropYaTop]

Oh yes, you must clip the claws!

I just went to one of my old forums, F150online. Some people over there are also looking for a solution to protecting the nav screen and pointed out something I just noticed on my system. Areas of the screen where I touch alot like the home button in the lower left corner developed a slight witness mark. It looks like a small dull area and it won't wipe off. I'm sure the screen protector will hide this but does anyone else see this when their screen is off? And yes, as I said before I am a lil ****, can't help it.

Sounds like maybe we all need to just start using the voice commands and sync.

I ordered a Nushield for my SHO and the wifes Expedtion - will report back on the quality and how it affects use/glare/etc as soon as they arrive.

My system does not respond to "Clean fingerprints off screen" or "Find $2 per gallon premium". What the heck? I'm going to try "Fill passenger seat with beautiful brunette" and see what happens.....

I think you are right. I don't know where my hands have been.

That's when you get more than fingerprints on your screen. Sticky.

Never have to worry about finger prints.

I picked up an IPAD or some screen protector for a touch screen device larger than the Ford Navi screen at Best Buy also. I was going to cut it down and install it. If I could get the surround off the dash first I think it would make life easier to install. And that little corner smudge is on mine too and won't come off.

 

[chad1140]

The nushield works well for me, and is economical and cuts glare.

 

[Retnavy]

Yep! works for me to. Just got to be careful when installing. Had to pull it back off twice do to lint sticking to it. Of course in the process I got a crimp in it somehow. Sure is better than finger prints......Thinking about getting another so I can cover my wife's Tom-Tom, and the cell phone screens.
