I tried it on my Macbook (2014 Retina 13') Though it does work (I used rubbing alcohol and Peek like the video) some parts came of really slow. We even tried it with a hand held buffer as well as various solvents. The other solutions we have seen are people removing the blotched antiglare coating with metal polish, however, when we tried this solution it took repeated applications and was an extremely slow process (see our tech note below).

Apple is aware of this issue (see first link below) and has extended the warranty on the laptops with this issue, however this is not a solution for us (many of the units fall out of this extended warranty). Issue: When using certain cleaners, the anti-glare coating becomes permanently 'blotched'. I have read through various iFixit forums, but am looking for a faster, easy to repeat process. We are looking for an in-house solution that can remove the coating 'assembly line' style while the screen is left in place. I am looking for a quick, viable solution to the Apple 'StainGate' issue, one that does not take hours.
