If you have a Mk7.5 navpro the high gloss screen will drive you insane with finger prints.

I had a microfibre cloth in the dash cubby hole and used to scrub away at every traffic light and traffic jam.

I'm not even obcessed with clean!

I bought one of the VW microfibres, only £2.

Many thanks, a great find, they are £2.99 for two with free delivery too.

Just looking on Amazon and I found this

https://www.amazon.co.uk/BROTECT-Protector-compatible-Volkswagen-Discover/dp/B07L6KTG6N

two screens for about £8.70.

I will get one and report back.

Got one of these installed on my retrofitted 8" mib 2.5 unit. Smudges drove me nuts!  :laugh: I can confirm that this screen protector stops smudge marks appearing and is very easy to install. I will say it is like a matt finish so it does dull the screen slightly, however there is no glare when sunlight hits it and is perfectly liveable and the lack of smudges far outweigh the finish. Plus i turned the screen brightness all the way up and it looks like it did before  :laugh:
