I tried that...They gave me a small normal microfiber cloth instead of the one that's fuzzy on one side that is $30 on the build sheet. I've yet to find a part number, but they're always in the accessories case at my dealership. just make sure they give you the right one.

This is the picture of the cloth from mbusa.com - you can try to read the part number from the mirror image.

No glare, but TBH the car went straight to PPF after purchase so never experienced any.

Looks great. What brand of matte film is on the displays? Does your PPF installer use a wide format cutting machine to cut the display film to exact size?

^ I pulled up the invoice, and there is a ton of detail on the window tint and exterior PPF...but it just says 'satin screen protectors' for the displays. I will be bringing the car back for some exterior touchups in a couple weeks and can ask him then.

That's a brilliant idea and thanks for sharing . Honestly, I have got a pen for the touchscreens for fancy reasons rather than reducing fingerprints . The best solution is to me microfiber clots though
