I totaly agree  I've tried a lot of products but spit works best day in and day out, and it's there when you need it.

Subject: WD40 WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a "water displacement" compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40.
The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.
The workers were so pleased with the product, they began smuggling (also known as shrinkage" or "stealing") it out to use at home.
The executives decided there might be a consumer market for it and put it in aerosol cans. The rest, as they say, is history.
It is a carefully guarded recipe known only to four people. Only one of them is the "brew master." There are about 2.5 million gallons of the stuff manufactured each year. It gets its distinctive smell from a fragrance that is added to the brew.
Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you.
Here are some of the uses:
Protects silver from tarnishing. Cleans and lubricates guitar strings. Gives floors that 'just-waxed' sheen without making it slippery. Keeps flies off cows. Restores and cleans chalkboards. Loosens stubborn zippers. Untangles jewelry chains. Removes stains from stainless steel sinks. Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill. Keeps ceramic/ terra cotta garden pots from oxidizing. Removes tomato stains from clothing. If you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and re-wash. Presto! Lipstick is gone! Keeps glass shower doors free of water spots. It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass. It's a miracle! Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors. Keeps scissors working smoothly. Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors in homes. Gives a children's play gym slide a shine for a super fast slide. Lubricates gear shift and mower deck lever for ease of handling on riding mowers. Rids kids rocking chairs and swings of squeaky noises. Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier to open. Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close. Restores and cleans padded leather dashboards in vehicles, as well as vinyl bumpers. Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles. Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans. Lubricates wheel sprockets on tricycles, wagons, and bicycles for easy handling. Lubricates fan belts on washers and dryers and keeps them running smoothly. Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools. Removes splattered grease on stove. Viola! It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed. Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging. Lubricates prosthetic limbs. Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell). Removes all traces of duct tape. Florida's favorite use is, "cleans and removes love bugs from grills and bumpers." The favorite use in the state of New York -- WD-40 protects The Statue of Liberty from the elements. WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures and you will be catching the big one in no time. Also, it's a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep in mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing are not allowed in some states. Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch. WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag. If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the moisture and allow the car to start. It removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor! Use WD-40 for those nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't seem to harm the finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just remember to open some windows if you have a lot of marks. Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly!
Use WD-40!
P. S. The basic ingredient is FISH OIL!

Well now you have the Chump/Champ decision to make: -Have her find you knew about spraying the shower door with WD40 would ease her load. -Spray the shower door and tell her what should happen to ease her load. -Spray it on the darn screen and let her continue to fish from her end of the boat.

For the smears, stop touching the screen with your oily finger!
Use your finger nail to point, it has less oil on it and touches far less screen as well.
Slab you still have an unread PM from me.

Mine are very coarse fabric, I would not use it on a plastic screen, before I proved it OK on someother plastic surface.

Mine are Lowrance and came with cloths that work great with no cleaner at all just wet the screens and dry them off. I clean them when I get home and put the covers on then they are ready for next time.
