Any recommendations on the best screen cleaning kit? Interested in smaller bottle and cloth that fits inside a good quality *vented* ziplock bag. No streaking and not a large bottle. I want to store this in the armrest storage. I want the cloth to be large enough so it doesn’t become saturated too quickly and start streaking. I’ve tried a couple from Amazon so far and they’ve not been any good.

No need for chemicals. Just a clean slightly damp microfiber cloth and then a dry one to dry the screen. Good old H2O will do the trick!

Hi, any recommendations
Ideally distilled water not tap. You don’t want to scratch the glass if you are in an area of hard water or other chemical comps. Clean these like you would your TVs or monitors.

Oh, actually Whoosh is what I bought from Amazon, not realizing that is what Apple uses. I did not like how it worked on the Rivian screen. It left a film and I felt like the cloth was not the right size, texture, thickness. I’m going to go with the distilled water, microfiber cloth suggestion. Should I use a thick terry-cloth textured (typical) microfiber or a flat type of microfiber (same texture as what you’d use to clean eye glasses)?

There's a clear outer triangular sleeve, microfiber-wrapped triangle, and a spray bottle inside that. The cloth is attached to the triangle so it retains shape and you should leave the bottle inside the fiber, spray the screen, and wipe. Just used it, works great, convenient in the center console.
