And after they replace/fix it, you can find a good screen protector online to install over top.

Has anyone had this happen on a 16? I haven't tried to clean mine yet but it does look like it's smudged.

I've yet to touch mine at all except with a clean, soft microfiber cloth.

FYI, I use Plexus for all interior and exterior plastic components including the instrument panel. Besides cleaning, it will reduce micro-scratches. Widely used on aircraft cowlings and windscreens

I use Plexus for the racecar on the lexan windows.... Good stuff. I think mine was wiped down by the dealer during maintenance when the complementary wash was done.
