Any way to make your screen (the glass) smooth again?

[Big Cheese]

I've recently bought a used HTC One m8 and it is aweome except the screen is rough and you can feel a lot of friction when sliding your fingers on it.
It seems the oleophobic coating has worn off, and I can't find any way to fix that.
I searched every store and supermall for something advertised online as oleophobic spray, every single store said the same thing that they've never heard of such a thing.

I just want my glass to be frictionless and smooth like it was on my old Samsung.

Any other spraying materials I can use?

Tempered glass screen protector. I doubt there is a spray that could be evenly applied, outside of using industrial equipment.

I hate screen protectors. They're like condoms.

Well with that attitude and analogy, I guess your only other option is a new member.

I wonder what RainX or something similar would feel like. You might want to try some of those. Might require frequent applications, but it's cheap/easy enough, and shouldn't hurt.

I actually enjoyed the plasticky feel of screen protectors on my phone when I had it. I think it's the bouncy feeling when I'm typing fast that I liked.

Also, I don't think you've tried tempered glass, because they don't feel like condoms at all.

Put body lotion on your screen and spread it on the screen with a tissue. After that wipe it off with another tissue. The screen will be smooth as new then

Is the screen rough across the entire surface? Are you sure there's not a screen protector on it now? You'd think the screen would only be rough at the common spots of usage, not all the way into all of the corners etc. Just a thought.

Merry Christmas!

I used RainX on a Nook tablet that had no coating. It worked great, but doesn’t last too long. However very simple to apply. Just avoid contact with plastic, think it will stain it.

Just have the screen replaced. Might get lucky and they can just replace the glass even.
