    Restoring Oleophobic Coatings

    Does anyone know, on average, how long the oleophobic coatings are supposed to last on a screen protector? And also, how many of you all restore the oleophobic coating, using a spray for example, on their screen protectors?

    iPad Air Can’t have crap in the desert, I guess.

    Brand new iPad Air 2022, not even a month old and already have microscopic hairline scratches about as wide/deep as the thin hairs on my arm. Worst part is, they occurred whilst cleaning my screen to install a screen protector using the wipes that they gave me. I’m upset. I have heard that it’s...

    Other Oleophobic coating, How easily can it be scratched.

    Hit my fingernail on the screen pretty hard while trying to pick up my phone. I became curious as to whether or not my fingernail could scratch the oleophobic coating... Is it so thin to create scratches in the film? or can I expect it to be stronger than a scratch from my finger nails?

    Macbook Pro replacement screen is now de-laminating

    ARGGGHHHH! My macbook pro had to have its screen replaced in April as it de-laminated. E.g. the oleophobic coating came off and made it look awful as though the screen was peeling away. I haven't cleaned the screen since then because I honestly didn't dare to. I just cleaned it for the first...
