BMW LCD Navigation screen scratches removal and installing a screen protector

Here a little video on how to remove scratches (and the coating) and install a glare free screen protector.
In this case the screen of a F01
Custom cut anti glare screen protector can be bought here: lexerd.com/

[@mbernardo123]

My A5 has the scratches and smudges you showed at the beginning and it's annoying and also thought about putting on a screen protector. Good job on restoring yours and thanks for showing it can be done.

[@DersimLondon]

Did you fix yours, I have the same issue with my Audi A5 screen, would rather try do this with out taking it all apart

[@sugarkang]

I also have an A5 with this issue. I would appreciate your input if you have attempted a fix.

[@SKI1333]

I just bought this stuff and my monitor in my bmw looked exactly the same. This shit is incredible. My monitor looks assembly line brand new! And that polish has my inside shining like I waxed it! I 100% recommend this stuff, will save you 100s! And I didn’t use my buffer. I started with No. 3 and in 2 minutes, it was done! I kid you not! Anybody having this problem, buy it! You will not be disappointed!

Great resaults.... Tip: to get 💯% dust free resaults when applying a screen protector, i always apply a 3" blue painter's tape across the screen before im ready to apply the screen protector. This method, any micro dust will be stuck and be lifted when removing the tape as u rightaway apply the screen protector giving you perfect dust free resaults!

The other day I found a glaring spot on the screen of my F01. I took some fabric and tried to wipe it off... and the spot got bigger. Turned out it wasnt dirt but damage in the anti-glare coating. So... I will fix it the way you did. Thanks for the video mate!

[@BlastCODM]

Same I thought i could clean mine with a towel and i just ended up making it waaay dirter😂🤷‍♂️

[@AQSWDEFRTHYJUKILO]

Seriously thank you so much for this. Was about to spend $200+ on ebay for a used screen thinking the scratches were permanent

[@Saqib.S]

Keep in mind that those screen comes with 2 coatings.. 1 first layer and 2nd layer. 2nd layer is really hard to remove. I recommend to just remove the first layer as its only that part get scratched. Layer 2 is deeper and will be pain in the ass to remove. If you polish layer 1.. should take 20 mins and polish to abbressive and long, you will start notice a hole in the screen begins to be visible.. thats layer 2. Try not do to abressive and long. If you start to fine polish to much... layer 2 will approche.

[@OMG_iTz_Daddy]

Thank you for your awesome job on it and thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. Am gonna try to do this with my CIC Screen because it has a scratch on it but not deep.

[@valentinorossie]

Ik zag op het einde van het filmpje pas dat je waarschijnlijk ook een Nederlander bent. Als dat zo is dan is je Engels uitstekend! Mijn scherm heeft hetzelfde probleem. Alleen ik durf er niet aan te beginnen. Respect 👍

[@BMWorks_NL]

Gewoon doen :)

[@Eisenhammer78]

I have the same problem with my used X3, thanks so much for your Guide!

[@akoust1c]

Fantastic job I have the same problem on my Audi virtual cockpit. I really need to get this going. Thanks for the video!

[@michalopalka1360]

Do you have the coating wearing off or a few scratches? Mine has some scratches and I’m trying to figure out how to fix that

[@sargissardarjan9735]

Is this possible to do without removing the screen?

[@zigno2650]

Do you think this procedure would work on a VW Golf Vitual Cockpit display? Got a similar looking scratch from the previous owner. Just a bit scared that the screen technology is different…but it seems to be the same judging by the looks of it. Anyway great tutorial, thanks a lot!

[@yusufkagduman3167]

Hey, did you apply your VW, if you did, what about result?

[@zigno2650]

@@yusufkagduman3167 I did it in an unprofessional way…. I took hand disinfecting wipes and basically rubbed the anti glare film off. Took a lot of effort but it worked out at the end. I didn’t even remove the display for it

Hi bro... where is the polarizer located on my bmw E90 2011? front Idrive screen or behind? right now I can see@ read all noticed or warning but it becomes blur soon...so I need to replace polarizer before it becomes completely blank😅

[@AyoBsLife]

I just ordered some of this stuff from amazon. I have some tiny scratches on my screen. Will this work if the screen is touchscreen as well?

[@BMWorks_NL]

Yes it will

Thank youuu i dint know it was so fragile and it was smudged so i cleaned it and it scratched

Use anti glare screen?

@@BMWorks_NL sorry wasn’t being nasty. Just brought Mini Cooper and the glare is horrible in the sun . Just thought anti glare screen would be best?

[@Tackyauto]

Just about the do this for my F56 Cooper S screen as it looks horrendous. I don’t have any buffer tools, so can you easily get the same results from hand polishing? Mine looks like I just need to remove the coating... Start with 2 or 3?

[@BMWorks_NL]

Start with 2. It is very good to do by hand

[@tolgao5801]

Really perfect... same problem i have... how can i find those polish internationaly...

[@John-qc1zv]

How does it look with the sun ? I found you did a great job but alot of people complain that the sun reflect on it, what do you think ?

[@BMWorks_NL]

As you can see with screen protector there is no glare in the sun

[@Lfbo555]

Hello, is it usable after polishing without new antiglare glass? Or is it too glossy on daylight??

[@BMWorks_NL]

Lfbo555 hi! You can use it as is but you’ll start noticing that in bright daylight you can hardly see anything

[@rutwlf]

Hi BMWorks, Ik heb recent een BMW 530D gekocht met het zelfde euvel (F11) kunt u dit ook oplossen in opdracht? Ik hoor zeer graag van u. Mvg Rutger

[@arturcioch2455]

Had you disconect battery before dissasebly?

[@BMWorks_NL]

No i did not

[@Trump-The-GREATEST]

Thats an anti-glare coating on the screen, once remomed with just plain water and a rag it becomes shiny and you will see all the annoying reflection from light!

[@AQSWDEFRTHYJUKILO]

So don’t wash it with water? It’s not touch screen. All it needs is a dusting.

[@dynamoeffekt]

How did you buff the old coating off? With a power tool or just wipe with the #1 cleaner and the cloth? I guess you used #3, #2 and then #1 with the power tool?

[@BMWorks_NL]

Matt Denson as in the video. Started with cloth and ended with little orbital

[@dynamoeffekt]

@@BMWorks_NL Thanks for the video and the response. I wish I saw your response earlier though. I used the soft buffing pad with a power tool and number 2 until everything came off. There's a sweet spot for the speed. You do not want to go too fast or too slow. Too fast = burns the plastic, too slow = takes forever. Novus recommends not more than 1000 rpm. But if you use a power tool, it gets messy. I ended up stripping the screen off the metal and plastic casing to get the excess Novus #2. I guess your method is better. Thanks a lot. Your video helped me save my screen. If I could, I would buy you a beer.

[@IvanIvan011]

Is it ok to polish only with number 3, because i like the result on 3:18 and i dont want to waste money for full set of the three bottles?

[@BMWorks_NL]

I used 2 more then 3.

[@IvanIvan011]

@@BMWorks_NL So I can reach the result of 3:18 only with 2 ? (Thanks in advance)
