Decided to clean up the old work MacBook Pro (2015) today.
It had suffered from "ScreenGate" (or whatever the fuck it's called on Reddit now) where the anti-reflective coating starts to degrade/wear in the centre of the display, leaving it looking awful. Problem is, it's paradoxically quite hard to remove deliberately.
Now the Internet is full of suggestions of all sorts of things... Isopropyl Alcohol, Acetone, strong detergents... all the way to obscure shit like miscellar water (facial toner stuff).
After trying lots of suggested lab and/or household chemicals, the best one ended up being... Listerine!
