Yes I tried searching already, no luck. Its not my contacts, they are nice and shiny. But the back of the rest of it - the plastic - is totally coated in my left over residual salt.....its white and starting to crack like its a bunch of shifting plate tectonics or something. I always wipe it off when I'm done, but it wont go away. I tried alcohol pads, but when it dried the salt crap was still there. Its not affecting performance of my Garmin, but its bothering me. help?

I just run mine under lukewarm tapwater and use dish soap, then dry it with a towel. (I don't mind looking dorky..well, actually can't avoid it...so in the summer I wear a wrist sweatband under the Forerunner to keep it from getting drenched in my juices.)

I just rince mine off in the skink after a run, sometimes. usually I forget. I also take an eraser to the contacts even when they're not dirty, though it is amazing how quickly that one lead DOES get dirty. how weird?!

This apparently works on a dirty mouth, perhaps it would work on your Garmin as well. Confused
