For vehicles with high gloss surfaces or vehicle displays, use a microfiber cloth to wipe surfaces.

Never use window cleaners or solvents. Periodically hand wash the microfiber cloth separately, using mild soap. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and air dry before next use.

Do not attach a device with a suction cup to the display. This may cause damage and would not be covered by the vehicle warranty.
