I remember a long discussion on this awhile ago, don't remember where.
 I'd check the repairfaq, first, though.  I imagine it's on there.

IIRC, the consensus was that there was nothing you could do and still
keep that coating.  If you use a polish of some sort, you'll end up with
a smooth spot on the monitor face.  Most people suggested filling it in
with some sort of clear when dry compound, then polishing.
