    Default How to get rid of water spots?


    I am not sure what the Lowrance screen is made of and don't want to use something that is too harsh. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

    I use a 50/50 mixture of water and rubbing alcohol on all my lcd screens.. Been doing it ever since they came out.

    Be sure and use a "DAMP" cloth and NOT spray directly on to screen.
    By spraying directly on screen, this allows the liquid to seep down the edges and attack the film along the edges.

    Tracker, if you have hard water spots that won't just clean off here is a trick I learned couple of years ago. Take a soft paper towel, wet it in white vinegar, wring out most of it, place the towel on the screen covering entire screen. Pat it out where it is all touching the screen. Let it soak for a couple of hours. Remove paper towel then clean with vinegar added Windex and a soft no lint cloth.

    Windex with vinegar here as well, works great. I believe this was recommended on the Lowrance web site.....I know I didn't come up with it on my own!

    In addition to the vinegar/windex or whatever cleaning solution you use, you need to protect the screen with a product called Krystal Vision. It will make removing the next water spot much easier. It puts a very thin coating on your screen. Works on all touch and non-touch screens and it won't harm the surface.
