Repair oleophobic layer on screen?

[camaroguy]

I recently got some silicone on my screen and wanted to get it off before it dried since its REALLY difficult to do after. Without really thinking about it I used some finger nail polish remover, basically acetone, which seemed to work. The problem is, I am fairly sure that my oleophopic layer is also completely gone now. Anyone know if Nokia can fix this or if there is a way I can fix it myself?

There is no way to re-coat the screen it has to be replaced afaik

You cannot recoat the screen. This process is done during production and is not reproducible at home or in some shop.

Actually, you CAN re-coat the screen. The oleophobic layer tends to wear off overtime, even if you didn't use the nail polish remover.

Here's the instruction to do it:

Thanks guys. The first one looks like a better option to try first as the second one says it only lasts a few days per application.
