Use - Novus #1 Plastic Polish

Running the risk of sounding like an ad - this stuff is great! I've used it on lots of equipment, but it is especially awesome on the GP2X, due to the fact the damn thing picks up prints worse than the PSP!

YMMV, but I coated the entire GP2X with it and while not %100, it will go a long ways towards keeping your GP2X from looking like a nasty greasy fingerprinted piece of crap ;)

Just look at this pic - I didn't even wipe the unit for the picture:

Funky pink joystick you've got there.

Alas, all the marks I want to get rid of are on the INSIDE of the screen.

Yeah, I couldn't find a black one the right size :lol: But it's a HUGE improvement over the stock cover.

While not much will help get stuff back out of the screen once it gets in there - the Novus stuff is antistatic as well, so when you do wipe the screen down, it won't charge the plastic to attract crap - which is a plus

Looks like good stuff.
There's a similar product that's used for cleaning arcade machine control panels too.
Anti-static, dust repelent plastic & vinly cleaner.
Can't for the life of me remember the name of it or find it after a quick search online.
I'm sure it was quite a bit cheaper than that stuff though with more in the can, so it might be worth the effort to check it.
I'll have another search online when I get more time & post what info I can :)

***EDIT***
Never mind. Turned out to be the same stuff :D
Another one that is identicle though, is Display Mate Plastic & Glass Cleaner.
Only difference I can see is that u get 16 fl oz bottle with Display Mate instead of just 8 fl oz per bottle with Novus.
Prices vary so check them out here! for a rough guide to see which one will work out the cheapest.
