I just thought I would post here that I had success removing the anti-glare coating off of a mid 2014 mbp with horrendous staingate
The way I did it was with Flash All Purpose Cleaner floor cleaner.
This stuff works wonders and is very unlikely to scratch or damage the screen as it is purely liquid (unlike mouthwashes and baking soda tricks which basically use the abrasive qualities to remove the staingate).
This product just cuts through the coating with minimal effort and leaves you with a much, much better looking screen which is honestly perfectly fine reflection wise if using indoors. I was using it in a spotlit room and there was very little reflection.
I maybe spent 5-10 mins with a microfibre cloth soaked in the floor cleaner just gently rubbing the entire screen to remove the coating. It left a little around the edges but barely noticeable and could be removed with a bit more effort. The screen on this macbook was almost tinted green it was that bad and now it looks as good as new so defo try this if your’s is bad!
