The second half of the page is more of the same. Pretty sure you don't need a special kit to wipe your screen with a little rubbing alcohol.

    True, but only if:

    a) Your phone/screen protector ever had an oleophobic coating

    b) Your phone is <1 year old, by which time the coating will wear off anyway.

    I don't think it really matters in most cases.

      All modern phones have an oleophobic coating. Honestly I don’t think I’ve ever encounter a glass touch screen phone without one. I’m pretty sure even my iPhone 3G had one because I remember it getting dirty faster as it got older. Same with screen protectors. I’ve encountered a few that obviously had no sign of a coating, but most have something. The dollar store one definitely didn’t.

      And idk about you, but the coating on my phones last a lot longer than a year. Maybe it’s down to how I take care of my devices but the coating lasts a lot longer than a year. My previous phone I had it for only 2 years but its coating was still going reasonably well when I sold it. That was with a screen protector though and I could easily just swap that out for another 2+ years.
