Garmin Screen scuffs?
Has anyone "polished" the screen to remove scuffs and scratches? If so what did you use?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I used some Meguires Mirror Glaze, an auto polish. It will not remove deep scratches, they are there forever but it turned that foggy look into a shiny surface again.

I would guess that toothpaste would work - it's what people use on plastic watch crystals.
But I am curious: how does the computer screen get scratched? I mean, it just rides on the handlebar, and occasionally comes off for recharging or to be mounted on another bike. So what is happening to it?

After quite a few tours, across the US, Canada and Europe a few times it has been dropped stuck in handlebar bags and such. Overall for 7 years of tours it has held up well. But it does have some "wear".

I use clear packing tape, the two inch wide stuff as a screen protector. Replace it when it looks bad or before I start a long trip.
