Wavy lines on my screen

[TotalMacMove]

I noticed my one month old air had these wavy lines in 3 corners of my screen when the display is off or dim, i cleaned the screen once using the whoosh screen cleaner. When you try to wipe the screen, they go away and a few seconds later they appear again?

Anyone know what this is? The ****** oleophobic coating already wearing?

Looks like damage to the screen's coating to me.

Have you tried just water? Looks like it might be residue. If that doesn’t help I would say it is damage to the screen’s coating.

Wow, thought apple would have done something differently after the original stain gate in 2015

I just did try it, and same result. This is crazy, I had this on my previous macbook and made sure to be careful this time and didn't last a month.

Looks like you've sanded down the coatings high spots. I put post up showing that MacBooks have a slight wavey coating on them by default.

I wouldn't use anything but water (on a lightly damp microfiber cloth) to clean the screen. Any kind of spray is asking for trouble.
