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

We all stumble and make mistakes. When you stumble, do you want your brother to help knock you down or to help set you back on your feet?

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.
