Ghostshad Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Are they any way to keep a sonar screen clean , even the Pro's seems to have the same problem , their's looks as bad as mine ? Bass Pro's showed a way to do it but it did't clean mine . I think a screen saver would hurt the detales to much . I know it does my CellPhone . GodBless & Thanks to Everybody Who takes time to help me Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted January 26, 2017 Super User Posted January 26, 2017 Windex Multi-Surface Vinegar and a microfiber cloth. A "screen protector" will defeat the anti-glare coating on the displays and in some cases darken the display more. 2 Quote
eddallen Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 I have been using the Rain-X product for years with great success. Word of caution on cleaning MFD screens....best to do this when the screen is cool...with any product. 1 Quote
Super User slonezp Posted January 27, 2017 Super User Posted January 27, 2017 DO NOT GET SUNSCREEN ON YOUR GRAPH!!! and another thumbs up for the Windex multi surface cleaner 1 Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted January 27, 2017 Super User Posted January 27, 2017 Vinegar and water is the best and cheap. Also works to take the hard water spots off the boat and is non-toxic. A gallon of white vinegar runs about $3 and will last you all season since you mix it with water in a spray bottle. And get some micro fiber clothes as well to use on the screens to clean them so they don't get scratched. 1 Quote
MNGeorge Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 Couldn't find Windex Multi Surface Cleaner as shown above but bought a Windex product that has vinegar in it and it worked very well...cleanest my screens have been since I bought them. Thanks for the tip. Quote
Super User Log Catcher Posted July 8, 2018 Super User Posted July 8, 2018 I am using a product called Wave Away. It is made for cleaning sonar screens and doesn't contain any chemicals that are harmful to the screens. It is a bit expensive as it around $10 or $12 dollars for it. You get a small spray bottle of cleaner and a micro fiber towel and a small carrying pouch. Quote
Super User Further North Posted July 10, 2018 Super User Posted July 10, 2018 My HB Helix units came with a protective plastic thing on the screens...I just left them on...if they impede clarity...I'm kinda scared, cuz I can see stuff I could never see with my x98 SI... I clean those now and then with about two drops of fish soap in about a half gallon of warm-up water that I then use to wipe up any other stuff that needs to cleaned. Quote
