Removing finger oil from screen....

Good evening.

I want to put a screen protector on my new 3G iphone.

I've been wiping the screen, but some excess oil from my fingers seems to remain.

What's the best way to entirely clean this before installing the screen protector.

Thanks.

I am going to assume you know about the free cloth included in the 3g box? I just dug mine out and cleaned my whole screen spotless with mere elbow grease.. it looks so nice as well. Once you've cleaned it, make sure to handle it with light fingers on the sides only or you'll be starting again! As mentioned in another reply above, a little moisture might help it out. I am sure there is a section on "cleaning" in the manual.

I use the cloth that comes with it. But my secret weapon is mcguires car wax the paste formula. Yes! You can use car wax and a lint free cloth to buff it.. You will be able to handle your iPhone with your bare hands and the layer of wax will protect it from finger oil. In case you get dry wax in the creavas's of the phone use an old toothbrush.
