Touch screen
Am I the only one who hates it when someone touches the touch screen? 
I never use it as I can not stand the finger prints, but was at the dealer to sort out a door rattle when the music is on and now I have his finger prints to clean of the screen

Use a quality quick detailer and a micro fiber towel. Bam. 1 minute. And helps to resist future finger prints.

It does not. I use the QD on my touchscreen, gauge faces, rear view mirror, side mirrors, and several other interior black plastic trim pieces. I like Adam's best from Detailers Domain.

Saturate a small cloth with QD. Wipe the screen clean. Quickly follow with microfiber cloth and buff dry.

I remember watching the iPhone announcement and thinking, "Wow, those guys are bat$#!+ nuts. Who wants fingerprints all over their phone? How are people supposed to keep that thing clean?"
Turns out that life is better if you just learn to not care.

I initially had the same reaction but then I realized how nice it is to just touch exactly what you want instead of clicking around. That's what it's there for, right? It only takes a few seconds to wipe clean so what's the big deal.

My "bad" experience is with my old E53 BMW X5 where my screen got scratched by someone using a cloth to wipe fingerprints off it (I never knew why my mother in law had to touch the screen to point out a place as it was not a touch screen). I saw those scratches for as long as I had that car afterwards and hated it.
Is the Porsche screen glass?

Personally I hate looking at smudges on the screen while I'm in the car. It is much easier using the screen to select options though. With that said, use a clean microfiber towel & Mothers Showtime cleaner for vest results. Just don't wipe it dry.
In fact, I always keep at least one brand new micro fiber towel in the glovebox so I can brush the dust off the gauges. & PCM screen once every few days.
