Of course it can be replaced. How do you think a COMAND gets assembled? Lots of different parts together = COMAND

I swapped some screens before and can help if you need!

Great write-up, do you happen to have any before/after pics?

FYI,

If you live near a "The Container Store" store, they have this Novus polish set for $9.99. Picked up today when I went looking for something else.

I purchased a screen protector for mine and it came up like new.

You can't really see the scratches and marks behind it.

I got this one..

Will this technique work on a 2013 C300 without the command screen? I accidentally scratched some of my anti-glare off and suddenly I scratched it. I was amazed. Trying to clean my screen and this happens. I mean I can live with it but I don't know if they use this same coating on a 2013 screen. Any ideas?

My car does not have the Multimedia Package with the larger screen its just the smaller screen with the Becker Map Pilot.

I can confirm this technique does work on a 2013 C300 nav screen with Multimedia package.

Cheers!

Thank you for this. I was about to order from Amazon, but I live near a Container Store. About to use this on my W204.

Thank you for this solution to the scratched Nav screen. It worked like a charm.

[QUOTE=srosenman;4525553]I'll cut to the chase...2009 E350 4-matic AMG Sport, Iridiumn Gray/Cashmere. Love the car, passionately. Idiot detailer sprayed something that completely spotted and messed the nav screen up...it ate right through parts of the anti-rflective coating on the screen. I have conducted more research than I care to get into. This is the definative way to get your screen looking brand new:

First, if scratched, worn or marked up from chemicals, there is only one way to fix, that is to remove the rest of the AR coating.
1. spray Novus plastic spray cleaner #1 on cotton or microfiber cloth. Give the screen a quick cleaning to remove dust/debris. Dry off with soft cloth.
2. squeeze a tiny amount of Novus fine scratch remover #2 on cotton cloth and work into entire screen in circular motion (good to do small areas at a time)
3. Buff dry with soft cloth
4. Repeat 2 and 3 until all coating off and you have a even, brand new looking screen.
5. Do #1 again to clean off to a great showroom shine.
6. Done - PS no need for AR coating...your windows and sunroof have it and the interior cabin glare is minimal. If you want protective barrier, you can opt for a NuShield product. Dont need it in my opinion...[/QUOTE]

I just cleaned the scratches from my 2011 SL550 navigation screen using the Novus products. It worked like a charm. The screen looks better than it ever has.
