Simple command screen fix...

TheVazha · 02-04-2012, 04:22 PM

I've seen these fixes before and I've always been put off because I thought "some" anti-glare is better then none. This is in not the truth.

My screen was getting to the point where I wanted to punch my fist through it. The chicken scratch was getting unbearable and it was a real eye sore. It took away from the otherwise gorgeous interior.

I was doing one of my weekly bored detail jobs and I thought I'd try my Meguiars Interior detailer on the screen. The anti-glare started coming off like butter. Literally. I didn't even need to scrub or even use muscle. Just a dab of the product on a terry cloth/micro fiber towel and it came right off.
No abrasive cleaner, no multiple coats, no taping. I was really surprised at how easy it came off.

In the first pic you will see the remains of the anti glare in the top and corners. The stuff came off so fast I didn't even have a chance to take a pic of the before and after.

The later pictures are with the screen after I was done. The screen looks 1Mx better. It looks brand new and it really is a pleasure to look at.

Looks great thanks for the tip.

Thats amazing although mine looks brand new.

TheVazha · 02-05-2012, 02:06 AM

Yeah thanks for the comments guys. If it helps one person we did a good thing!

If your screen looks new then for sure keep it. I wish my command looked new with the anti glare but that was not the case for me. This is the second best option and I'll take it!
