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.

I just use the windex with vinegar. I also clean mine after every outing

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!

Wave Away...:ThumbsUp No alcohol or vinegar......Good stuff but not cheap.

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.

You will like this product Jack ! I apply it once around mid-day and once before I put the units up. In between, I just use the terry cloth to wipe the water spots off. Brian

You may want to check label on Rain-x to make sure it does NOT contain any alcohol, as alcohol is one of worst things you can put on any electronics screen. It dries out the surface of screen causing little cracks to form in the screen surface- which after awhile will look like a haze on your screen.

Lowrance recommends a 50/50 mix of alcohol/water mix to clean the new touch screens.

Been use it for 7 or 8 years now, still look like new. Also the wipes for LCD monitors have some alcohol in them, no problems there either.

Because of this post I tried the vinagar and water mix and I didn't have a lot of luck so I purchased the wave away. HOLY COW, that stuff is awsome. 2 pumps on the bottle and few wipes and the prints are gone. Well worth the $14

If you purchase and use Krystal Vision one pump is good for about a 7 inch screen and few wipes and the prints are gone.

You can order the Krystal Vision from:
