Whats everyone using to clean iDrive 8 screens on the LCIs? I have the P&S interior cleaner and using that on the dash but havent touched the screen with it yet…looking for something safe and non oily

[ayv_g20]

I use the microfiber cloth that came with my sunglasses. It gets the dust and fingerprints off quite easily on its own and it doesn’t need any cleaning products either. But, I usually do it when the car is off because even after I press “screen off” from the drop-down menu it turns back on after it senses a couple touches.

Adam’s Total Interior Cleaner from Adam’s Polishes works well for me, and you can use it on any interior surface.

Is the adams safe for the screen? Ive seen some reviews where people have said its not recommended…?

I have a dealer-installed screen protector. I use CarPro InnerQD, sprayed on a MF cloth and then wipe.

For "on-the-go" fingerprint/smudge wiping, we have a sunglasses cloth in the center console.

Oh nice. Do you have a prt number for the screen protector ? That may be the way to for for me as well - my wife keeps playing around with the screen and cleaning her fingerprints is bloody annoying !

Tell her to use the controller!

Seriously, I have oily skin… and my wife does most of the driving. I’m attempting to do everything in the computer through the console buttons/controller. It really helps!

I don’t know about a part number. It was part of this dealerships “mandatory” prep (in lieu of a straight MSRP markup.) Everything else they did was XPEL, I don’t know about the screen protector. Sorry.

Yes, the Adam’s is safe for the screen. I spray it on a microfiber then lightly wipe the screen and follow it with a dry microfiber to eliminate any streaks. I would not spray it directly on the screen, but I wouldn’t do that with any product.

I use Adam's glass cleaner with a grey borderless towel. I keep a small bottle of it in the center console with a towel.

Tip: The knuckles usually work fine to use the touch screen, it's just not as accurate. I'll only use the finger tip if I need to really keep more focused on the road.
