Xiaomi 15T Sticky Tasks?

Hello,

I have a new smartphone, Xiaomi 15T, which I have no intention of giving a bath or doing acrobatics with, but it is IP68 and has Gorilla Glass 7i.

I always buy a wallet case with my phones, the one I ordered had a screen protector that I had the bad idea to apply, leaving wide stains underneath.

Once removed, the stains in question, although not bothersome once the screen is on, resist glasses wipes but can be mostly removed by rubbing with a finger, although some do return afterward to a smaller size where they were removed.

Does anyone have an idea of an appropriate solvent, which I suppose has to be volatile (ether or something?) to get rid of them?

Thank you.

    Hello,

    I would try olive oil with a cotton ball, risk-free. It's practical for removing residue from peeled labels.

    Maybe hydroalcoholic gel, the one from Covid, with my finger.

      Hello,

      Olive oil? It must be a circus to remove it yourself afterward?

      We can't see the phenomenon on a lit screenshot, and I don't think it would be possible on a black screen (in standby).

      There is nothing raised under the finger, and scratching doesn't leave anything on the surface of the glass or the nail either.

      It all feels like moisture marks, but that doesn't make sense because the phone hasn't been exposed, and the vast majority wouldn't have disappeared from scratching to leave only 7 or 8 little circles in the top left corner of the screen that also yield to scratching but seem to come back as if nothing was done.

        Hello,

        WD40?

        Or I know a product in Canada called Kleen-Flo Rub'n Dri Hand Cleaner (Waterless Hand Cleaner)

        It smells a bit like the wax we used to put under shuffleboard discs on cement paving (A childhood memory).

        I don't know if it's available in Europe; it has the particularity of coming in a "gel" form, which doesn't melt quickly, allowing the product to work for hours before scrubbing.

        There was a similar product in the US called Gojo Original Formula.

        Paint thinner should do the trick depending on the glue, but it evaporates faster than the hand cleaner mentioned.
