Has anyone waxed their screen?

**Forgetful** · 07-15-2012, 03:27 PM

I've heard of this before but never tried it. Using a Window or car wax. Simply putting a little wax on some cotton material then buffing the screen. Now take a clean cotton and wipe remaining wax residue off.

Supposed to make screens/screen protectors slicker and more resistant to fingerprints.

Would that not damage the oleophobic coating?

Those zeiss lens wipes you can get at Walmart are the only thing I use anymore. Cleans the screen and the phone really well. Wax could be harmful.

No screen protector for you?

Absolutely hate screen protectors they all dull the screen from how it's meant to be seen.. Plus the nasty dirt that gathers around the edge of the screen... Smh. Those wipes work well brings the screen back to the fresh out tha box feel...

I used rainX on my Asus Transformer and it works awesome. Helps reduce fingerprints and makes the surface super slippery. Haven't tried it on my new S3 though.

I use the same things. They're the only lens wipes I trust for cleaning delicate things, like my camera lenses, glasses, and cell phone screens.

Waxing??? Really??? I just use my lens wipe that I use to clean my glasses and works great...

I do something similar, only with my shirt lol

**Topgonzo** · 07-17-2012, 12:23 AM

I will never use a screen protector. The bubbles that can be so small still would bug me not to mention the corners and grime. Just wipe it using a cloth or shirt and its fine. The gorilla glass really doesn't need a protector although its big money that they make

No screen saver here either. Glasses lens wiper here as well and once in a while I use a tiny bit of lens cleaner spray.

**wallymichel12** · 07-17-2012, 06:01 PM

I have tried RainX and I found that it works really good for repelling fingerprints. Also makes the screen really shiny. Anyone else tried this? Done this with my old HTC EVO 4G and my current Motorola Photon 4G.

Pink wax or blue wax...what about stubble? Anyone tried Nair on the screen instead?

I would be worried that would strip the screen.

Maybe a deep pore mud mask followed by a cucumber extract rub to finish for a smooth look.

cut-throat razor + stinging nettles for me

I just install my Spigen Ultra Nano Clear screen protector today and threw a coat of Meguires Ultimate Nano wax on it and boy is it slippery!!!

Now I can slide this b*tch across the counter on its screen and not worry about damaging the screen.

These Spigen Ultra Nano protectors are so thin, and hard coated so good, you cant even see it on the screen. Best protection out there!
