![Question](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Has anyone experience with touch screen protectors for the Nav screen? Do they help reduce finger prints? (I swear this question is from my wife!!)

A little bit, but you have to buy the once that are advertised to reduce the finger prints as these are not glossy (smooth). But even then you can see them. I keep a small micro-fiber cloth (like the one that comes with some sunglasses) in the car to wipe the nav, gages, etc., to get the fingerprints/dust off.

I bought one for my wifes gx470 and i have to say a good investment. got it off ebay. I think it could have been a better fit but o well works great. Wipe it down with a fiber cloth when we wash the truck and not one print, scratch or mark. For the few dollars they are worth it. I think i paid 12 or 15 dollars shipped. It has been about a year now.

Those Plastic film really dont work that good for finger prints and they are hard to put on without bubbles. I use a product called the X-clean screen cleaner. I 1st saw it at a restaurant where they use it to clean their touch screen monitor. It reduce finger prints, nothing will eliminate finger prints in my opinion.

I had one of those plastic screen protectors.....for about 10 minutes.
That was about how long I spent trying to get all the bubbles out before I threw it in the trash. It wasn't cut perfectly either, which may have added to the issue with trying to eliminate all the bubbles.
I just clean the screen with Novus plastic cleaner whenever I wash the truck.

You know what's funny? I bought my 06' GX in September 2006 and I still have the stock/factory screen cover on my nav screen as well as the stock Lexus door sill covers on my GX
. Pretty pathetic I know, and the nav screen cover is still in great shape, but does have a bubble at the "I Agree" button...go figure. I may have to check out the ebay covers, but it's going to feel very odd taking that stock cover off after all this time.

I got the cover from ebay. Not the cheap thin foil either. It's a thin, hard, non-shiny plastic. No bubbles during or after install. Great fit, you can't tell there is a cover on the nav screen. It has a slight rough surface which helps greatly with fingerprints and glare. Best $10 I've spent.
