My recently purchased 2002 SC430 had a grimey Navigation Screen that was covered in 9 years worth of rub marks where the common command buttons appeared on the screen.
First I cleaned the screen with a photographic lens cleaner:
Then, after applying a REALOOK screen protector
The screen had a clean glossy almost new look again - Horray!

Yes it does reflect a bit more, but overall it is much easier to read and hides almost all of the old wear marks and scratches.
I will post pics of all of my mods once I get my luxlink installed in a couple of weeks.

I put a screen protecter on my GPS when the car was a week old. I use a eye glass cleaner solution to clean the screen,and it works very well. If the protector gets dull or scratched, its just a matter of peeling the old one off and putting a new one on.The only down side is that the screen does not appear as bright as without a protector on it. In the sun it can be just a little harder to see.But not too much.I would recommend this product.

The only semi-frustrating problem with a screen protector is getting the bubbles out.....but it can be done.

The realook surprisingly had very few bubbles that eventually worked their way out over a week. It is thicker than other screen protectors I have applied in the past, so it goes on easier, just take it slow.
I started from the upper left corner of the nav screen and applied the protector downward in a diagonal motion.
This method resulted in very few bubbles that were easily squeezed out to the sides.
I did get overzealous with my plastic scraper on one bubble and that left a few small scratches on the protector film. No Big deal.
