I use the 7oz cans. They last for a good while. I use it on my motorcycle screen, all my visors, gauge cluster, and headlight plastic. As I stated, it goes on instrument face on my RC and all other clear faces. A little goes a long way. Comes in several sizes, plus if you drive a Lexus, what’s 27 bucks for something that works? And no I’m not affiliated with them. It just works.

Curious how much of a difference that product would make being that the issue with this anti glare protector is that its defective to begin with. Not a wear/tear issue necessarily like the other products it's said to help.

I just went ahead and bit the bullet and replaced mine on my 2014 IS250 - it was not in horrible shape, but the coating on the sides was starting to degrade. I paid about $64 for the part and I replaced it in about 20 mins. I also reached out to Lexus and asked what they recommended to clean it with so it would not happen again - corporate reply was they recommended any glass cleaner w/o ammonia.

I doubt anything is going to mask the anti glare already scratched or peeling.

clear plastic, as the screen is, enlighten us there sir. Mine was not damaged, but I applied some on it
to protect it in the future. I clean mine with eyeglass cleaner.

I didn't state that it would fix an already damaged screen. But, if you find a better product for protecting
clear plastic, as the screen is, enlighten us there sir. Mine was not damaged, but I applied some on it
to protect it in the future. I clean mine with eyeglass cleaner.

I also used eye glass cleaner on mine, but It was defective with enough blemishes I simply removed it entirely and left as-is since glare wasn't an issue and nothing touches the screen.

I was just submitting an answer to the poster who asked about his damaged screen. I have not used that or any product to protect plastic I'm sure it works great based on your experience.

on it. As far as experience using Plexus, been around for years, works great on clear plastic and screen coatings of all kinds. Motorcycles and cars.

There is an tsb for your Navi screen. The problem why the anti glare coating is coming off is because people are cleaning them to often and to aggressive. Harsh chemical cleaners with microfiber towels will strip the glare coating, my advice is to use watered down cleaners and a lens cleaning cloth. Wipe it down gently. Had mine replaced under warranty and the glare coating came off because of what I wrote. Caution to all!

I just bought a 14 IS350 and the screen was Really bad. Found a new Lexus screen on ebay for $67 shipped. The install was incredibly easy. In and out in 30 minutes. Thanks again to CL for helping me save a ton of money.

Simple Fix
Hey everyone. I have a 2015 IS 350 that also had pretty bad anti glare coating issues. I bought it used from the dealership that way and found a quick, inexpensive fix.
You can use a microfiber cloth and glass cleaner (or any alcohol based cleaner) to wipe all of the remaining anti glare coating off of the screen. Once my screen was totally cleaned, I installed a photodon screen protector. They make one for the IS and I believe it works on all of the 3IS models. It definitely fit perfectly on my 2015. Here is the link where you can buy: https://www.photodon.com/p/2633-01.html
I got the MXH one and it offers a great amount of anti glare while still being super clear and not distorting what’s on the screen at all.
All in, it was about a $25 fix. Way cheaper than having Lexus replace the entire display.
