    Any advice?

    My older brother cleaned his '24 Camry NAV screen with some window cleaner and it is now murky.

    Searches are a bit mixed, but most people report rubbing alcohol or Lysol wipes are the cure.

    Any personal experience?

    I do know alcohol can clear up fogged shellac, but that would probably help more if your brother's nav screen was from the 1920s or so.

    Gorsch, an actual post in FHOP that does not originate with the ruthie mobile.

    I managed to muck up my clear screen over the speedometer.

    Have not tried to fix it. Maybe I should

    Tried a 50/50 mix of 99 percent rubbing alcohol and 70 percent rubbing alcohol. Which, I suppose, works out to 80 percent?

    WORKED. I take no responsibility for the results of anyone else trying said formula.

    I get 84.5%, which is the same as one solution calculator on the web says, so at least I did it the same way as somebody.
