anti-glare monitor coating.
Hi Experts,
I own a Iiyama Vision Master Pro 413 17" monitor. Its a high spec monitor ideal for games, anyway it comes with a special protective anti-glare coating, which is easily scratched. I have had this monitor for several months and after cleaning the monitor gently using a soft cloth, the protective coating has become scratched.
I have contacted Iiyama and they said that a special solvent is available to remove the protective anti-glare coating. However, they wouldn't recommend one as they are against removing it.
Do you know of any solvents designed to remove the protective coating on a monitor?
I have rang around and T-Cuts and special watch scratch removers have been suggested but I feel that they may be too abbrasive.

I'm fairly certain anything with ammonia in it (like Windex) will remove that coating.
I used a solution of one teaspoon of acetone in a tablespoon of isopropyl in a large square surgical sponge that I let sit about a minute before using. It removed it flawlessly. Be careful since it can mar/smear anything plastic.
