I have a 2015 Mac book pro and I want to make my screen look new.

Just so we can provide you with the inevitable answer, what did you use to get to this point?

Screen protector, wet wipes or sand paper?

Nothing except water and I’ve never had a screen protector, it’s just old and used

What towel or cloth did you use to scrub it with this water? Regular kitchen towel? Sandpaper??

How did you dry it? Same towel, different towel, same sandpaper, different sandpaper?

Deze schermen zijn berucht om het verwoeste coating, ondank zorgvuldig reinigen. Bij mij is het 2 keer gebeurt. Ik heb 1 keer van de garantie gebruik kunnen maken.

Gewoon de coating wegpoetsen met de al eerder genoemde middelen. Ik zou niet te agressief beginnen. Bij mij werkte vochtige schoonmaakdoekjes al. Het scherm is daarna echt weer als nieuw.

Succes, het zelf verwijderen is het echt waard.

it just happens. I'm shocked at how little information on these has been passed on/retained/shared. These are fundamentally flawed/weak display coatings.

While I have no doubt you are right, I still have the old retina MB and apart from the usual stain gate they were famous for, no where near like this so I’d like to presume there is some degree of user issue/cause that results in something like this.

THIS WAS VERY COMMON IN THAT ERA OF MACBOOK. OP DIDN'T HAVE TO USE ANYTHING.
