Install a screen saver and the spots will wipe off with almost any cloth. Saves a lot of time.

The eye glasses wipe by zeiss as the man above spoke of works great I use them all the time. Get them at Walmart and they are cheap.

For non-touch screens use 50/50 vinegar and distilled water OR the vinegar-based Windex. For touch screens (Lowrance), use 50/50 distilled water and isopropyl alchohol. I put my mixture into a small spray bottle from Wally world and carry it along with a microfiber cloth. Keep the mixture handy on the boat, it will keep the spots from building up and with one spray, wipe and it's completely clean.

I love Bass Boat Saver, but I can't get it to remove the hard water spots on my HDS. I use it on everything else though. Makes them shine like a diamond in a goats...

Like everybody else said 50/50 vinegar and water, works great even on gel coat.
