I now have a dot matrix glass screen protector fits well sensitivity is good.
However it's highly reflective and shows every finger print yes it's easy to clean. But it's Really taking the enjoyment out of this phone.. I've tried film and plastic all have pros and cons..
I would luv to take it off but I live near a beach and I understand 1 grain of sand could ruin the screen... Any suggestions would be appreciated thanks

I think you will find it's all down to the quality of the protector, and the amount of TLC you give it. Many of the cheap protectors have little or no oleophobic coating, with the more premium protectors having the customary "slick" feel to them. This can be protected/topped-up by using various polishes and cleaners that are available.

Be careful about sand and dust getting under your for matrix tempered glass screen protector (TGSP). I bought my Note 8 used, and the previous owner had a TGSP on it since day one. Dust had began to leak in, including a piece of dust in the very center. When I took that TGSP off to install a wet install soft screen protector, I noticed that piece of dust in the middle had actually etched a spot into the glass on the screen. It's very small, and not really noticeable, but it's there. And it was caused by the one thing that was supposed to protect my screen.

My whitestone has a pretty good coating to prevent smudges and fingerprints. I have other qualms about it like bubbling and whatnot, but the coating and smoothness is better than the other tempered glass protectors I've used.
