Help with the In Dash Screen

samaln · 11-30-2013, 10:22 AM

So I made a huge dumb move by cleaning my in dash screen with a tissue because there were some fingerprints on the screen. Now I have some very fine thin scratches across the screen! Does anyone have any tips on how to fix this if its possible. You cant really notice them unless the screen is off but still if there is a way to remedy this it would be appreciated!

And whatever you do, do not use tissue to clean the screen!

Sorry to hear that.. but don't ever....let anyone touch the screen again! That includes Wife, Kids or any other passenger that you may invite into your car. If they get to close be prepared to give them the BMW Hand Slap...Now you also know not to touch the SCREEN...Seriously though this has been mentioned before. I have a 2011 and I watch all fingers that point and get close. I don't know if there is a fix or cover for the problem but I will watch this post to see if there are any fixes for this.

Don't use cleaner on it as that will remove the anti reflective coating. Live with the scratches.

samaln, try a cleaner for laptop and use a microfiber towel.

this topic was discussed back in 2011. There is no solution to this at all. Once it's done .. it's done
