I start off by keeping it away from dirt. Ya know....put it in the case when you are not using it...stuff like that. When it gets dirty (rarely does because I never fly. ) I use windex on some parts and Q-Tips.

Go to Wal-Mart go to the make-up dept.( Take a woman with you. It won't look so bad). Anyway look for something called a "Blush Brush". women us it to put on make up. it closes in to it's own container and pushes out when you are ready for clean up time. It works great for small corners and removing dust. |

My preffered method of cleaning is engine degreaser. Spray on a healthy coat, let it sit for about 10 min, then you just spray it off with a hose. A power washer works even better though, it get in all the cracks around the screen and stuff.

I keep my 9303 in its case when I'm not flying... the only time it's exposed is when I'm prepping, flying, or setting up. I rarely have to clean it.
