Hey there good video like always. I have the Gyeon one. Can you use the Gyeon one on iPads iPhone MacBook Pro displays.
Thanks, Pan, this answered my questions about how and what to use on my car's multi-media screen. 😀👍
You are so welcome!
Great lineup of products! Excellent video pan. 👍🇨🇦
Thanks 👍
One detailing weakness of mine is glass/screens/etc… the tips are always welcome.
I’ve been impressed with the turtle wax glass cleaner.
Yes I featured it in my recent glass cleaners battle video. Very good one.
I use a rinseless wash dampened microfiber, works perfect
Thank you. Asked about this a few weeks back. I use the same cleaner I do when I clen laptop screens at work
.
Perfect!
Hi Pan, I am trying to follow all your techniques. I found that the Turtle Wax Dash and Glass Cleaner is a good, economical and safe product for this duties, leaving a matte finish and UV protection. Including for TV screens is fantastic.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Pan,
Thoughts on P&S Xpress Interior Cleaner on screens.
Also, what are your thoughts on the use of car covers for vehicles that are parked outside of a garage?
Thank You,
David
This is so helpful, thank you! My new(er) car has a touch screen and I had no idea how to clean it.
Thanks Stacey!
Hi Pan, nice informative video as always, I use TV mist free glass cleaner, it's great to see I'm learning a few things from the years of watching you 😁😁👍👍
Great to hear! Glad to see that my viewers are constantly learning tips and tricks through my videos! :)
Pan this is another good one, l use TW mist glass cleaner on my screen. On another subject I just watched your Sucker towel review. You helped me make up my mind on towel size. The big decision was either a 2 pack of 15 x24 Gauntlet or a 20 x 30 . The 15 x 24 is my choice and they should do the job on our 2021 RAV4 hybrid. Thanks
It’s my girlfriend’s 2021 Nissan Rogue.
Awesome work Pan! Can't think of a better way to celebrate my birthday than watching your latest upload👏🏻🎉.
Happy birthday Konsta!!
@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you so much Pan👍🏻❤️

Thanks Chuck!
Easy peasy... simple is best!
👍🏻
My favorite products for interior and touch screen its meguiar's quik interior detailer G136 and or the pro version meguiar's detailer D149 quik interior detailer!!. Really top top, good cleaning and matte appearance and slight uv protection. For a little more protection but to darken the look a little more there is also the meguiar's ultimate quik interior detailer G162. They dry quickly with no streaks and I really like that for indoors!
Thanks for sharing!

Just stumbled across CZcams using search and wham great content, The 2023 Awards is the best I've seen awesome thank you. Products and prices differ so much down here in Australia@@PanTheOrganizer
Hey Pan - thank you for all your work and videos they are truly helpful.
would you have a process or a suggestion for this test case:
1. Winter Driven car
2. Dirty - salt and road grim
3. Have access to a touchless car wash drive in station
4. What could I use in a IK sprayer to pre-treat the panels while I wait for my turn for the car-wash ?
-the idea is that the soap and water that the facility uses doesn't remove all the salt and road grim
any products or suggestions would be appreciated.
thank you King
I'm no pan but you could use koch chemie green star maybe from the IK. Honestly it may help a little but u find salt and winter grime has to be contacted somehow. Maybe the green star sitting for a few mins would help before hand tho
Hey Pan. Love your content. Could you use the same process on the clear plastics on the drivers instrument display? Those plastic scratch easily. Thanks.
Yes, absolutely
Awesome video and tutorial good friend
Thank you Richard!
Happy little screen lol, thanks Pan 👍😁
No problem 👍
Very cool. Always overlooked
❤
Thanks!
Very useful information, presented in an organized, thorough and engaging way, as always. Do you know if Invisible Glass or O2M Quick Detailer can be used? I see no mention of touchscreens on the containers.
In theory it's best not to use alcohol based products on infotainment displays, as it could potentially damage the anti-glare or anti-smudge coatings on them. That being said, some like the Gyeon Interior Detailer (which has 60% alcohol content) are still fine to use, so it's product specific. Check the instructions or the website of the product you are curious about, to see if they mention infotainment displays.
For Invisible Glass, if you just spray a little bit on a towel (never on the screen directly!) and wipe it's fine. Many use it for cleaning infotainment displays and it works.
great video!!!!
Glad you liked it!!
Thanks for another informative video Pan. I was going to inquire about Invisible Glass, but I see you've already addressed this for another viewer. I am wondering how you feel about screen protectors for automotive screens? I'm having a hard time finding one for my particular vehicle. Thanks
I haven't looked into screen protectors, as I never had the need for them. My car is cleaned regularly, and I take care not to damage any surface. :)
Hi Pan, Merci pour ces vidéos géniales👏Any tips or videos on your channel for scratches on that type of touch screens.Regards
No as to my knowledge, that could damage the surface and remove the anti-glare or anti-smudge coatings those screens have.
Hey Pan , I have fine scratches on mine what should I do to get them out ? Thanks so much, your videos are so helpful and educational!
There isn't much you can do unfortunately, as you don't want to polish those screens as you would be damaging the coatings on them (anti-glare, anti-smudge, etc).
I like the makeup brush tip🎉
A good alternative.
Thanks pan! Love your content. One product I’ve use a lot is the chemical guys nonsense. Would that be safe on a display screen? Keep it up!
It would be hard for me to know all the products that can be used on tech screens unfortunately. Your best bet would be to check on the label of the product, the company website or reach out to the company directly. If I had to guess, I wouldn't use Nonsense on nav screens.

Hey Pan !
What about Gc from Koschemi or any product from Koschemi that could be a good choice for cleaning those screens / piano black
Hi there. I have the Gyeon one. can you used the Gyeon on iPad iPhones and so on
It would be good to indicate the number value of the micro fiber towel (ie- 200, 400, 600) in future videos that involve micro fiber towels. Thanks.
Hey Pan, I see a lot of detailers using q tip looking things to clean between buttons and tight spaces in the interior. I've tried looking for these on Amazon but can't find them. Can you tell me what you use to clean in cracks or what the interior q tips are called or include a link? Thanks
I have An Audi Q3 2022 with interior shiny part, can you please show us how to clean this area and avoid scratches. Thank you
Hi Pan. Do you suggest the same for the instrument cluster?
Hey Pan, love your work. I wonder if the P&S bead / dream maker mix would also be a good screen cleaner ? Simon from Australia
Not really a cleaner, but yes it can act as a quick interior detailer if sprayed lightly on a towel and you wipe the surface. So it does work on infotainment screens and also works great on piano black gloss surfaces.
Hi Pan I really enjoy your videos and I have learned so much from them.
Have you made a video regarding best way to clean the interior head board? My car has a weird material and I don’t want to make it worse.
Yes I have a tutorial on cleaning headliners: czcams.com/video/q2HY-lEpaJw/video.html
When looking for a topic, simply type the topic and add "Pan The Organizer" at the end in the CZcams search bar. For example "cleaning headliners Pan The Organizer" would have led you directly to that video. ;)
@@PanTheOrganizer awesome! Can’t wait to watch it. Thanks for the searching tip as well :)
great video.
Thanks!
Hi Pan
Appreciate your detailing videos and guidances!! Awesome!!
I am looking for stains / watermarks on sunroof or moonroof tinted glass. I believe it’s different than windshield or slide glass as I am unable to remove completely. Any videos or products you recommend…!!
Thanks for your support !!😊
You will likely have to machine polish the glass using a glass polish and glass polishing pad. Watch my glass polishing tutorial: czcams.com/video/yMi5PtyqUI8/video.html
Pan, love your content. I try not to have one solution for every task. I use the P&S interior detailer and Invisible Glasss. Will these work as well? I don’t want to damage my infotainment screen on my 2023 Mustang.
For your infotainment, just use a microfiber towel and lightly mist a bit of Invisible Glass on the towel and then gently wipe the screen. It will be fine.

Are there any safe techniques that can remove micro scratches from the screens or piano black interior trim elements? Good topic for a video, if there are ways of safely polishing these out.
Yeah you can either use a polish by hand, like Sonax Perfect Finish, or use a small polisher like the Rupes iBrid Nano.
Love the Bob Ross reference!!
😁
Perfectly done Pan as I hate a nasty touch screen. One tip I have learned if when cleaning a smokers car some interior detailers leave a film on the screen. I learned to use a damp microfiber that sits in the bucket of rinseless wash. Thank you for the video and stay warm because it’s still cold up there.
Thanks Neil!
Hey Pan, I was wondering what a good wheel and tire cleaner is for use on uncoated polished aluminum wheels. Thanks!
P & S Brake Buster
Nice video
Thanks
Just wondering if you could do a video like this on the instrument cluster rev counter Speedo etc please
As it is similar to glass in looks, but different in material, as plastic is soft while glass in near unscratcheable, you should use a clean and soft microfiber with a glass cleaner. Spray on the cloth, not on the cluster as you will also hit the steering wheel and other surroundings. Good luck!
Like a mobile, why not use a matt anti glare, anti print sheet and apply to the surface. Bit of a pain cutting a template but worth it in the end. Like ppf on external pillars, a matt self cling for internal screens.
What about water/vinegar mix?
Hey Pan, nice production as always. I know you are onto Hi Fi, do you have another channel where talk or review products in audio ?
I don't, but I do HiFi videos and tech reviews sometimes on this channel. Here are a few:

Hi Pan, I applied a single layer of Avalon king armor shield IX ceramic coating last spring. Can I apply another layer this year just so I have 2 coatings, or is it too late? Do I strip the old layer or what maintenance needs to be done?
Usually, they recommend apply 2 coats one after the other (1 hour between coats). So in your case, it's unsure how much you'd benefit from a coat a year later. The bare minimum would be to wash the car, use an iron remover for decon, then IPA wipe (with something like AvalonKing Paint Prep spray) and then apply a fresh layer.
Hello Paaaaann !!!
J'utilise le Screen de fictech, offert au detailing show à Tours ( 2022)
Il est parfait, mais n'a que cet usage.
👍🏻
I put a tampered glass protector then ceramic coated it. In between. I use N-914 to clean it using glass towel.
Ya,but,why
did you have any experience with Koch chemie ASC on displays ? that’s what I use and wanna hear your opinion on it
Yes it does work quite well on infotainment displays, I found it especially removes fingerprints really well! :)
My honda accord screen feels like platic and not glass how do i clean this? I left water mark swirls all over and dont know how to take them off. Can you help
Would the chemicals you recommend also work on home tablets such as iPads and/or cellular phones screens?
No
Are they good for cleaning the instrument panel in front of the driver and heads up projector?
The instrument cluster yes.
Could you use tape or Puddy to pull off the initial dust instead of a brush ?
Yes there are putties made for that like here: amzn.to/3GWqInB
Nice video! Can we use diluted rinseless solution on the infotainment screen?
Yes
Which cleaner is safest on a capacitive, anti-glare, high contrast display? Thanks, Ryan
Gyeon Interior Detailer
Pan if there are lite scratches on an older touch screen (2010 Lexus RX 350) is there anyway to buff those out?
Not to my knowledge, as trying to do any form of polishing would damage the anti-glare, anti-smudge or any other protective film on them.
Can I use the same cleaning method for the analog instrument cluster glass/plastic. That thing is even more sensitive and gets scratched from everything. Thanks for the video!
Perhaps use a blower tool to blow the dust off first. Something like they use for camera lenses: amzn.to/3XM1Aa7
And then you can clean as per the video tutorial.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you, Pan!
Have you ever done or do you plan on ever reviewing top coat F11?
You’ll never see that on my channel. Not worth the purchase. No serious channel has liked it.
Watch what Chicago Auto Pros thinks of it: czcams.com/video/jYa4vSubHrE/video.html
Great video as always. I use the Gyeon product based upon your recommendation and love it for maintenance use.
Do you have a video about products you like to give the interior a good heavy cleaning?
Thanks Harold! You can watch a video I made teaching a newbie how to fully detail the interior of his vehicle: czcams.com/video/7GrTEPL1v3w/video.html
I just use distilled water in a misting bottle purchased from Adam's. The MF cloth is a very fine cloth used for cleaning glasses.
Pan, what is the best way and products to clean the cars instruments cover which is usually like a clear plastic covering without clouding or scratching the surface. Thank You.
As it is similar to glass in looks, but different in material, as plastic is soft while glass in near unscratcheable, you should use a clean and soft microfiber with a glass cleaner. Spray on the cloth, not on the cluster as you will also hit the steering wheel and other surroundings.
Correct. Also make sure you aren't using pure alcohol based products (like 91% alcohol) as using an alcohol-based cleaner on your device can potentially damage the protective coating on most screens in cars. Use a quick detail spray instead, or if the quick detailer has a bit of alcohol in it, make sure it's safe on nav screens (like the Gyeon Interior Detailer which is 60% alcohol based, and still safe to use).
I just use filtered water with a couple of drops of dish soap. Works great.
Dish soap dries out plastic.
TY mate, I highly recommend the Turtle wax Hybrid Solutions Mist Glass cleaner, I have been using it since it landed here in Australia and found it awesome on glass and my Entertainment screen not only in my car but also my TV my laptop and tablets. I found it is a great cleaner with the flair sol sprayer making life super easy, but also leaves no streaks what so ever on anything I have mentioned and to top it off smells nice as does all of their Hybrid range. Ty mate enjoyed yet another great video from you.
Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘💖💖
Thanks mate!
Hey Pan! Really hurtin' for the Cruise product, but the best delivered price that I can find in Canada is US$50. Any thoughts?
Not much we Canadians can do about exchange rates, shipping costs, import fees… :(
Would you use these products on a computer screen or a flat screen tv?
Just a glass microfiber towel and distilled water is all you need for those.
would Invisible Glass suffice? It's tint-safe and ammonia free. I'd hate to buy another spray cleaner if I don't really need it.
Some use it, but if you do, spray it on the towel first, and then wipe. Never spray the cleaners directly on the screen.
Pan......Ive got numerous rags from The Rag Company. How can I distinguise them....ie: glass rag, interior rag, drying, polishing ? Can I safely mark them with a sharpie ? What do you do to distinguish them ?
Ron
Bryan Texas
The glass towels have a different weave so they're easy to identify. For the rest, I usually pick different colors for different tasks. You can assign specific colors to different tasks. For example, yellow towels for interior, grey towels for wheels, blue towels for polishing, etc.
Pan I have a question. Are there any other spray and rinse SiO2 sealants that are out there besides geyon wet coat and CarPro HydrO2? I love these two products to death as, a multi year ceramic coating is not worth it for me in my situation. Any suggestions are appreciated, I always love to try new products.
Yes there are plenty of spray and rinse now. McKee’s Hydro Graphene, McKee’s Hydro Blue, Turtle Wax Graphene Flex Wax, Meguiar’s Hybrid Ceramic Spray Wax, DIY Detail Quick Beads, and so many more.
If you look at your favourite brand’s lineup you’ll likely find one.
@@PanTheOrganizer much appreciated pan, I’ll give a few of those a try!
I just purchased a used 2017 Mazda CX-5 for my daughter, and the anti-glare coating on the infotainment screen is very scratched. I've seen people using everything from Lysol to Listerine to remove the coating. Any recommendations for restoring the screen, or removing the anti-glare coating?
I would never recommend that someone removes the anti-glare factory coatings. And there isn't really a how-to on that, as you don't polish that surface. You either replace it, or live with it to my knowledge.
Is the dry me a river towel good for this?
I wouldn’t use it for this purpose.
Cool 😎
😁👍🏻
Hello Guys. I have scratch like dots on my infotainment screen. To me it seemd like protecting film got damaged any ideas how to restore it or fill in the material? Thank you in advance
Unfortunately there's no solution for infotainment displays. You'd have to see your dealership to have it replaced if need be.
Yes, I have the Cadillac cue infotainment system and it's one big touch screen. It's also a fingerprint magnet 😑
HI- My husband and are" car people." We have owned & still own many classic cars. I came here to your channel to see how I could get rid of smears or a few fingerprints on the Infotainment screen that was not used as a touch screen but was used with the big dial. I bought the exact product you suggested - the Turtle Wax Hybrid Hybrid Solutions Streak free mist glass cleaner inside and out. " Now my screen looks worse! I followed the directions. Do you have any suggestions to fix this? Should I buy a cover made for these screens ( not a Mazda product that I am aware of as of yet) that is sold on amazon that will hopefully hide the streaks on the screen? Update: I may have sprayed the product on the screen and not the cloth. that could be the problem. Shall I try again spraying it on the cloth and then wiping the screen?
First, welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on CZcams as we surpassed 945,000 subscribers and we have over 125 million views! I have been detailing for 26 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers.
You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing.
You should always spray on the towel, not the screen. I never had issues with that Turtle Wax product on screens. Perhaps you got a bad batch of product? But you can try the best one that I have tested for that, here: bit.ly/3QIjhqn
Also, what microfiber towel are you using? Hopefully it's a quality one meant for detailing vehicles. Make sure you spray on the clean and dry towel, and then gently wipe the screen.
Hi. Thanks for your videos. I wanna ask you. Can i put ceramic coating on my car screen?
Not to my knowledge. But you can apply something like this: screenprotech.com
@PanTheOrganizer thank you. You mean that ceramic coating damage the touchscreen?
It wouldn't bond to it. Coatings are meant to bond to clear coat.
I just picked up a used 08 nissan altima for my daughter and the touch screen is foggy and beat up, Can i polish it out with glass polish or is there a way to restore it ?
No unfortunately as you’d remove any protective coating that’s on the screen.
So I take it if I have a navigation screen that already has some scratching, there’s no way to polish it out?
No unfortunately, as if you use abrasives on those screens, you'll be damaging the coatings they have.
Any tips to get rid of stubborn smudges?
This gets rid of fingerprints and smudges. How more stubborn can smudges be? What types of smudges are you referring to?
Any products for scuffs/scratches?
Nothing can restore scuffs or scratches on infotainment screens unfortunately.
Are there other products providing a protective film like Cruise Matte Interior Detailer? ~Thanks~
Not to my knowledge
@@PanTheOrganizer Ok. With this product any idea how often you need to reapply to preserve the protection and will there be a build up?
May I know how to remove a perfume oil stain in a car infotainment? Im having a hard time to remove this to my infotainment. Hopefully you can help me. Thanks
Hi Judy. Did you try the techniques and products presented in this tutorial? It's important to establish a baseline to see what else can be done. It's hard to troubleshoot at a distance without even seeing the extent of the damage.
HI Pan! Is there anything you can use to protect the screen from showing the fingerprints?
I talked about that in the video. Did you watch it?
Usually preventative practices would be best. For instance, whenever I use the touchscreen, I use the second knuckle (joint) of my finger to lightly tap on the screen. Your finger tips tend to have lots of oil throughout the day but your knuckles tend to be drier and less oily so there is less chance to leave oily residue when tapping.
But for products that protect he screen, I would say that after cleaning it, use a ceramic detailer (preferably one for interiors) on the screen. Lightly buff it off again to remove excess product. That should help prevent fingerprints and dust, especially on screens that don't have much protection left on them.
@@PanTheOrganizer HI Pan! Yes I watched your video, and it gave great recommendations on how to clean and remove fingerprints; but my question to you was is there anything that we can apply to the screen to prevent fingerprints from happening in the first place, like a coating of some kind??
The answer to your question can be found in the video from 2:40 to 3:02
Do you recommend using a tempered glass screen protector if one is made for your vehicle model?
BMW’s digital instrument cluster is protected by an anti glare film. I exercised the same steps you showcased and saw severe smudges when the sun was hitting directly on the instrument panel. Do you have any solution to this? I learned the anti glare gets scratched far too easy (as it happened on my F10 when they were fitting the same anti glare on the central display as well). now I am hesitant to try anything new. Thanks
My Mazda had the same issue. I just used a damp with water microfiber and then buff with a dry cloth. Anything else damages Mazda infotainment screens. I just clean it often.
You can use a rinseless wash on a gentle microfiber towel and wipe.
@@PanTheOrganizer ONR also damaged my screen.
A rinseless wash damaged your screen? Those are pH neutral cleaners, so I don't know what to tell you. Very odd situation you're in. So in your case, the only thing you'll be able to do is a microfiber towel damp with a bit of distilled water and that's it.
@@PanTheOrganizer that's what I've been doing, no issues with the new screen. Thankfully Mazda was replacing the screen under warranty for an unrelated issue, so I took the opportunity to try a lot of different cleaners on the already damaged screen.
Hey Pan, my edgless towels leave lint on the surface. I use edgeless 500 and wash them with rags to riches. What can i do to prevent that, do i need to throw them amay? Thanks!!
Did you reach out to The Rag Company to see why?
@@PanTheOrganizer
No i dit not do that
How do you get the swirl marks off
You can't unfortunately. You don't want to be polishing those screens as you would damage their protective coatings.
Hi Pan 👋
Hello!
Hey Pan, thanks for the tip. Want to keep my screen like new for as long as possible. Noticed in a previous vid you used the Gyeon Int Detailer on the dash and all vinyl, leather. Wouldn’t this strip any conditioner/UV protection that you may have previously applied? Tks
It's a very light product (hence the name detailer), so it shouldn't really strip away protection unless used multiple times a week. This isn't a full blown APC or interior cleaner.
At least once a month anyways, you should be topping the protection on the plastics and interior trim.
As Bob Ross would say; There’s a happy little navigation screen! 😜

Thanks Jesse! How did you discover my channel by the way?
Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on CZcams as we surpassed 850,000 subscribers and 106 million views! I have been detailing for 25 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers.
You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing.
And for cleaning and protecting a convertible top, here's what I recommend:
Cleaner and protectant: amzn.to/3HdxUvW
With this brush: amzn.to/3Y08QPL
Super easy to use, works great.
@@PanTheOrganizer I was on CZcams one day and your channel appeared on a Sunday morning.
If you have to choose only 1 detailing brand, what would you choose? Carpro etc
I would never pick just one brand, as I like to use the best products from all different brands. But if I was forced to pick just one, it would likely be CarPro at the moment. Solid all-round lineup in the prosumer to professional range.
@@PanTheOrganizer fair enough. Thank you for all you do for us biggeners🙏

This video reminded me of a Bob Ross version but for car detailing. 😂
😁👍🏻
Would this also apply to cluster screens?
Absolutely. Perhaps blow the dust off before starting on those, as they scratch easily. You can use a kit like this: amzn.to/3GWqInB
Interested in knowing this as well!!
