Fingerprints No More on MBUX
I don't like fingerprints on the MBUX screen. I tried several methods to keep the screen clear going as far as ordering a screen protector. I didn't like the results and quickly removed it. I suffered for a while keeping a mini can of screen cleaner in the center console so I could incessantly clean the screen. Then, quite by accident, I found if I type/point/click with the top of my index finger fingernail, it doesn't leave a fingerprint on the screen. Granted, it feels a bit strange to click this way, but I quickly got used to it, and my screen stays clean much, MUCH longer.
Let me know if you have tried something similar.

Interesting!
I thought the MBUX screen was a capacitive touch screen like the iPhone where it doesn't recognize fingernail inputs.
I put the screen protector on mine but I don't think it's any less prone to fingerprints.
I just carry a soft cloth in the console and wipe off every few drives.

I also have a little microfiber finger mitt I use to wipe the screen. I also have founf that if you type or touch with your knuckle it doesnt leave a fingerprint.
BiltHamber Trace Less glass cleaner also seems to leave a finish that resists fingerprints for a while. It is also an INCREDIBLE glass cleaner!

Yeah, the shipping was like $9 making the total $30 after tax.
Looks like all the online reviews are raving about this cleaner.
I hope it's effective in removing water spots as well. I've seen quite a few spots on the rear window that needs treatment.

Clean Touchscreen
What is the screen made of ?
If it's glass, then any cleaning agent is suitable.
When receiving my new E200 a few days ago, The dealer gave me MB cleaning pad and warn me to only clean with this item.
But I want to also clean with proved liquid cleaner
