Best Option for cleaning smudges

Please keep in mind that alcohol is not safe for screens. You may find some cleaning solution or wet cell phone wipe with an alcohol-based cleaning solution that's safe for car display screens, but we don't entirely recommend it. We'll get into disinfecting in a minute, but let's focus on simple screen cleaning for now.

Before you think about disinfecting, think about cleaning grime and smudges off your infotainment display. This alcohol-free solution will clean monitors, flatscreens, phones, laptop screens, and more touchscreen devices. Thanks to the included microfiber cloths, you don't have to worry about streaks. Be sure to clean in a circular motion.
