I finally got some mild weather to apply one of the screen protectors and take comparison pics, pulled one car into the driveway and took a pic, then moved cars so the other one was in the same position in the driveway to have direct comparison with position and daylight. First screen has no protector, second one has the Day-Vue protector (obviously the one with less fingerprints since I cleaned the screen before applying), I think it definitely helps with cutting down on the glare.

I ordered the "Triple A" and installed it yesterday.  It took a while to clean off the screen to my satisfaction prior to installing (I used the Klear Screen kit, plus compressed air to blow away any residual dust), but once it was clean, it installed without any problems.  I wish it was just slightly larger to better cover edge-to-edge, but that would likely complicate installation.  It doesn't seem to attract fingerprints as much as without the protector, and any that do show up have wiped off much easier than before.

I used a Day-Vue one as well and I really like it, somehow it doesn't seem to show the prints as much, even though I touch it just as often.  Keeping dust off of it while applying it was tough.  I used a glass (eye glasses) cleaner cloth, and a microfiber cloth, and a ton of flicking, wiping, blowing, etc to keep it clean until I made the final application.  It takes a while, surprisingly a ton of particles flying around your car on any given day.

I also installed DayVue and have great results. Before the film, it was impossible to see the screen when the sun shines in from the passenger side. The finger prints form a reflective layer of the sun light and block the screen view. This can be a safety issue when you are driving and trying to adjust things. With the film, I can see much better. MFT is much easier to use as a result.

 

Thanks to the thread and forums.

I installed the DayVue, as well and it makes an incredible difference.  The screen is more crisp and it does an excellent job defeating glare.  I can't say this is preventing any finger prints; it seems to hold the finger prints just as without the protector, but this protector wasn't designed to prevent fingerprints.

 

Installing was under a couple of minutes.  I purchased the clean wipes and they did an excellent job removing the dust.

Not sure how many also follow Blue Oval Forums. I think they are affiliated and I know they point to this forum so I hope it is okay to point back. Mods please let me know if I am breaking any rules.

 

One thing I have notices about my new car is that you will be touching that screen for Nav / Phone / Setup / Climate frequently and it will be covered in finger prints almost immediately. I saw a discussion on blue oval that I think should be brought over here: http://www.blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?/topic/51174-screen-protector-for-mft/

 

I ordered the Triple A one specifically for the finger prints. I plan to add window film to the windows, but I do not seem to have any glare problems yet. (Not Summer though either).

 

 

NuShield Triple A™ - Antiglare-Antimicrobial film

  • Gives a moderate, matte finish to display
  • Prevents growth of germs on film surface
  • Best choice for public environments
  • Seamless installation-no adhesive lines
  • Almost as durable and scratch resistant as NuShield AG™
  • Scatters reflected light, minimizing its effects
  • Better antiglare performance than NuShield AG™
  • Hides fingerprints
  • Outdoor bright glare can overwhelm it - can darken
  • Works well to "fuzz out" reflected images
  • Eliminates 99% of UVB ultra violet light
  • Best for moderate light and reflected image reduction

NuShield DayVue™ Antireflective film

  • Will greatly diminish glare, even under bright outdoor conditions
  • Cancels reflected light
  • Glossy film with no haze – maintains pure colors
  • Best under indirect bright light conditions
  • Direct sun can still wash out display
  • Can show fingerprints
  • Can show weak reflections
  • Eliminates 99% of UVB ultra violet light
  • Best for indirect bright light where reflected images are not a big concern

 

 

Just wanted to say thanks for the thread, went online and purchased the Triple A shield and love it.  Didn't think I did that good of a job putting it on, but you can't even tell

its on and way less finger prints now.

Glad it is working out for you... here is another thread I started that lists what I bought for the car once I got it... http://www.fordfusionenergiforum.com/topic/636-stuff-for-the-car/ (Just in case you are looking to get rid of some more cash ;) )

I didn't order one of these screen protectors for a long while because I don't do anything to damage the screen (I don't run a screen protector on my phone and never have a problem). Once I learned this is primarily for finger prints and glare i gave it a try. WELL worth the money, helps tremendously, and IMO greatly improves the clarity of the screen (looks far less pixilated and more crisp).

I installed a NuShield Triple A and am pretty happy with the anit-fingerprint protection it provides.  It's not perfect, but really cuts down on them. 

 

The installation was pretty easy.  You just want to make sure you clean the display really good first and try to keep dust off while you're applying it.  If you have a piece of clear packing tape ready, you can use it to remove specks of dust from either the display or the protector while you're applying the protector.  I had to do that to get one speck out and it worked great.
