Didn't see anyone else talking about this on XDA. I though I would post my experience.

****This Product IS AMAZING*****

What is it?

Your touch screen comes with Gorilla Glass, which is great. It has an oleophobic coating on the screen that repels oils from your fingers, from your face. It is great. It also gives the screen that smooth finger sliding lower co-efficient of friction. That new phone screen feeling that I just love when I get a new phone. The problem is that it wears off after some time and you will notice after having the phone for a few months that the screen starts smudging and you start wiping the screen more and more to make it look clean. This drives me crazy and I can honestly admit that I have in the past purchased a new phone just so I could get that "New Screen Feeling". I once even traded in my Galaxy S2 used for a new S2 and spent $100 just to get the "New Screen Feeling".

Am I crazy?

Maybe but I am sure I am not the only one who loves a new screen. I absolutely hate screen protector with a passion, and I have tried multiple different protectors during my smart phone era but none did it for me except the ones that are made from tempered glass, but they suffer from the same fate of the coating wearing off and they are more susceptible to scratching then the stock screen.

So the solution?

This coating can be reapplied for cheap. There are a few different brands that I have come across. I used a brand called Proteger ordered on eBay from Japan. Other brands I have seen are Fusso and Dynaflo LIQUID-ARMOR. It appears that they are all manufactured in Japan. Most bottles are between $15 - $20.

The instructions say to use 10 - 15 drops on the screen. This is not needed and WAY TOO MUCH. You can put 4 - 5 drops on your screen per coat. Best to do 4 coats. This is how I applied it.

- clean first with supplied micro fibre cloth

- 5 drops on screen

- rub with one finger covering the whole screen. I kept rubbing until it was almost completely dry.

- once it is dry the screen is very hazy. Use a clean rag or paper towel to wipe it off. Keep turning the rag to a clean dry spot until all haze is gone.

- repeat 3 more times. It is suggested that you wait 8 hours to allow each coat to cure. I only waited 10 minutes and got great results, but tonight I will allow it 8 hours while I sleep to cure another coat.

Results.

You will notice immediately that the screen feels like new. Even after first coat, but it improves with every coat. The more coats the more slick the screen is.

******Here is the best part*******

I noticed with my Nexus 5 and previous phone that I would always get these micro scratches from regular use. This would drive some people to get screen protectors but I rather micro scratches then a disgusting looking screen protector. I never really got deep scratches or gouges but I would always get micro scratches that you could only see at certain angles. Here is the kicker. After applying the Proteger coating THESE SCRATCHES ARE GONE :) edit** the ok the scratches are not completely gone but they are much less noticeable. You really have to try to see them now. Obviously this product isn't some sort of magic solution, and the scratches don't disappear. I reckon that it fills the fine scratches kinda like wax on your car. Either way less noticeable is good enough for me.

I even tried it on my crappy beat up Blackberry work phone that has a pretty scratched up screen and all of the scratches are now gone except for 2 deep ones, but even they are less noticeable. AMAZING.

This is a great product and I will recommend it to everyone that I know. The bottle I bought was 10ml and I have done 2 phones and I can't even see the level go down in the bottle, this product should last a long time.

Anyone else use this stuff. Please leave your comments and reviews.
