PSA : Screen protection needed

[Cliffhanger]

My Badsquatch 12” display has been in use since 12/2022 and I have about 8,500 miles on Goose now. Finally got around to putting a screen protector on today and was really surprised at how scratched the OEM display is already - especially since I keep it very clean and never get salty fry fingers around it. Didn’t notice how bad it was till I brought in the work light to clean things up real good and do the install, but in regular light I never noticed till now. So I guess this is a pretty cheap glass or just plastic screen? Anyway, might want to think about protecting it sooner than later.

That doesn’t look normal. I’ve got 20k on mine and it looks nothing like that. Maybe it’s whatever you’re wiping it with? I’m not sure

100% agree. I have 12k miles and I don't exactly keep my interior clean. Dog hair, drool, dust, and sand gets all over and my screen doesn't look like that at all.

A little windex on a microfiber is all and no real scrubbing. It never really gets dirty and have only taken the fingerprints off maybe 4 or 5 times. I thought mine looked ok too, until I put the light to it on an angle. If you’re curious, put an led light to it and see what it looks like.

i have some marks, and i know there from sand and dirt off-roading, but not anywhere near that bad.

Was one of the first things I did, it's not gorilla glass. Easier to replace a screen protector than a screen

I don't use one on my phones, usually replaced every couple years. Bronco screen I hope I never need to replace $$$

Almost 2 years later and 32k miles, I still have the original screen protector plastic film that came from the factory lol

Where is a company to get the best quality screen protector made for these?
Thank you.

Windex has ammonia. It can break down certain surfaces, reason why you're never supposed to use it on high quality tints.

‘Best’ is the hard metric to quantify, but affordable is better. If it gets scratched replace it again. This one is a good match and from a decent “protective glass” company. It fits nicely and does what it’s supposed to.

I've only had my Bronco for 2 months, and not sure I've ever even touched the screen. My kids might have when connecting their phones. Unless the modem was already activated, I never turned it on either.

Why are you using windex on anything vehicle related? Ammonia is terrible for so many surfaces inside you car. That might actually be the cause of your issue.

There's tons of ammonia free cleaners out there that you should be using.

I hope you aren't using windex on your window tints as well, lol.

And the microfiber cloth. You should only use tge special glass cleaning cloths that come with high end handheld devices or $100 sunglasses.uch finer weave and essentially all you need plus a little water.
