NX300h - 2018 - 10.3-Inch 0.26mm thickness, Glass Screen Protector Guide!

[AtomAnt]

This is a topic I was searching for for a while, but eventually, I managed to find something that works through some research! Last month I was very close to selling my NX300h since PCP was coming to an end, and I was torn between inflated residual value (make some profit) vs a new car! In the end, I decided to keep the car for good unless Lexus releases full electric (not UX or upcoming plugin hybrid NX). The car has 14k on the clock, and I am the 1st owner! 
One thing that always bugged me was the screen being super delicate - it has a special coating, and if you accidentally end up cleaning  it with any random cloth, you can end up like the one below - this is not my image, but it happened to my IS300h, which was replaced under warranty! 

My paranoia always kicks in whenever I take the car for a wash. I somehow do not trust the car wash guys and always had this fear that they would end up scuffing my head unit display! So the solution is to use a screen protector, which took me a while to source! It was not easy since there are so many variations available in the market, especially sourcing the one with the right size is a nightmare. In the end, I found one through lfotpp.com (I have no affiliation with them, just a dude assisting the community) at a very reasonable price with no shipping cost to the UK!
You may not be paranoid like me, but if you are and have been looking for a screen protector for your 10.3-inch display, this step by step may help! 

Invoice from LFOTPP

Display before installation, make sure the display is dust free! 

Side view to compare before and after

Thats how the package looks like!

Contents, wipes (wet and dry) dust spec remover etc etc. 

An other view,..

 

Dry run, to see if it will fit! Please note it is not edge to edge from top to bottom but the tolerance is acceptable!

Contents used, screen is now clean and ready for screen protector application

Screen protector applied. Since it is hardened glass bubbles do not form if you let it stick from left to right or the other way around. 

 

Side view to illustrate thickness of screen protector ! 

Overall I am very happy! I no longer worried about scratching/scuffing! Hope this is helpful!

PS: I used powder free vinyl gloves for this project!

I would have to be in unusual situations before I let somebody clean my car but I recognise that it’s not straight forward if you can’t get to a drive or garage.  It’s a neat solution well executed and I like the photo tutorial.
