Default Navigation screen protection

Just wondering if any one has put a screen protection to their navigation touch screen?. Mine is showing lots of finger marks and like to avoid it. Where can I find screen protection?.

Thanks......

If you guys/gals have left overs, I also put add them to the steering wheel buttons, mainly the radio controls: arrow up/down, +, -, and mode

I didn't do the phone buttons since there is a dip and a bump.

We all know the voice controls are pretty useless

I bought couple of them off ebay for both of my car.
I agree... it's good idea to have a protection for your screen.
But, I thought $12.49 + $3.99 shipping was kinda high...

Also, I sent 2 e-mails to the Sherwood Dash people about buying a kit from them, but they won't return my e-mail. Should I call them? How much did you pay for yours if you don't mind me asking please?

Doc.....

I don't remember what I paid for the kit, but it wasn't cheap, when you consider that I didn't use most of it.

I could not get this to work right without bubbles/imperfections.

i took my time and it turned out perfect. the key was just following the directions exactly as specified and being really patient. i also used a credit card with a sharp edge as i was peeling back the backing. mine turned out great, and i really needed it cause of my wifes fingernails, i have seen screens just eaten up before.
