See: Apple Extends Free Repairs of Anti-Reflective Coating on Select MacBook and MacBook Pro Models just be patient and after a few hours it will look great! Also while doing it the screen looks terrible. Next day I continued, but this time I pre-wiped the screen with Bison Magic Wipes (for paint removal) after another hour doing Wipes->Peek rubbing->Ethanol cleaning the whole screen was smooth as a baby butt :-) The magic wipes really loosened the coating. took dozens and dozens of applications, after an hour or so maybe 15% was done. I tried it on my Macbook (2014 Retina 13") Though it does work (I used rubbing alcohol and Peek like the video) some parts came of really slow. We even tried it with a hand held buffer as well as various solvents. The other solutions we have seen are people removing the blotched antiglare coating with metal polish, however, when we tried this solution it took repeated applications and was an extremely slow process (see our tech note below). Apple is aware of this issue (see first link below) and has extended the warranty on the laptops with this issue, however this is not a solution for us (many of the units fall out of this extended warranty). Issue: When using certain cleaners, the anti-glare coating becomes permanently "blotched". I have read through various iFixit forums, but am looking for a faster, easy to repeat process. We are looking for an in-house solution that can remove the coating "assembly line" style while the screen is left in place. I am looking for a quick, viable solution to the Apple "StainGate" issue, one that does not take hours.
