Both of our options are designed to protect your vehicle’s screens from scratches, scuffs, and everyday wear. The difference is the finish and the problem each film is built to solve: HD keeps the screen looking OEM-clean and crisp, while Anti-Glare is a satin finish made to reduce glare in high sun exposure situations.
First, why we use film (not tempered glass)
- OEM-clean look on flat and curved surfaces
- Scratch/scuff resistant with no shatter risk
- Handles heat, cold, UV, and vibrations
- Removes cleanly with low heat and won’t damage coatings
HD Film (High-Definition Finish)
HD is the go-to option for most drivers because it maintains a clean, high-definition look on your screens and touch surfaces while adding protection where modern interiors scratch the easiest.
- Available for ALL cluster protection and touch screen devices
- Protection against scratches and damage
- Helps restore the look of previously foggy or scratched plastics and gloss black trim
- Effectively reduces fingerprints
Anti-Glare Film (Satin Finish)
Anti-Glare is a satin premium film that slightly dulls the surface it’s installed on to reduce glare. If you deal with direct sunlight washing out your screen, this is the option built for that problem.
- Protection against scratches and damage
- Diminishes glare for high sun exposure screens (think convertibles, sunroofs, limited tint)
- Extra fingerprint reduction
- Available on SELECT touch screen devices
- Not available for most gauge cluster surfaces (see your vehicle listing for options)
- Extra charge may apply
HD vs Anti-Glare: Quick Comparison
| Feature | HD Film | Anti-Glare Film |
|---|---|---|
| Look / Finish | High-definition, OEM-clean | Satin (dulls surface slightly) |
| Scratch Protection | Yes | Yes |
| Fingerprints | Reduced | Extra reduction |
| Glare Reduction | Standard | Built for high-sun exposure |
| Driver Display / Cluster | Available for all clusters | Not available for most clusters |
| Availability | Most vehicles | Select touchscreens only (listing-dependent) |
Which one should you choose?
- Choose HD if you want the most OEM-looking finish and you want protection for both your infotainment screen and your driver display/cluster.
- Choose Anti-Glare if sunlight regularly washes out your screen (convertibles, sunroofs, limited tint, high sun exposure driving) and you want a satin finish that reduces glare.
- Not sure? Start with HD. If your listing offers Anti-Glare and glare is your biggest problem, upgrade where it makes sense.

Short FAQ
Does Anti-Glare make the screen look different?
Yes. Anti-Glare is a satin film that slightly dulls the surface to reduce glare. HD keeps a more OEM-clean, high-definition look.
Which one protects better against scratches?
Both films are built to protect against scratches and damage. The main difference is glare reduction and finish.
Can I get Anti-Glare on my driver display (instrument cluster)?
Usually no. Anti-Glare is not available for most gauge cluster surfaces. HD is the option intended for cluster protection.
I drive in a lot of sun. What do you recommend?
If glare is the issue, choose Anti-Glare (when your vehicle listing offers it). If you want the most OEM look while still reducing fingerprints, choose HD.
Why not tempered glass?
Film provides an OEM-clean look on curved surfaces, doesn’t shatter, and is designed to handle temperature swings, UV, and vibration in vehicles.
