Looks very interesting. I wonder how well it works. I beginning to hate how my current screen protector is crinkled on the corners.

When I first bought the phone I used it without a case for a short time and there were microscratches all around the front and back. I've never had a phone in recent years that scratches this easily. So I've used the spigen liquid both on the front and back and I haven't seen any new scratches for a while. Then I put a screen protector film both on the front and back to be sure.
So this liquid seemed to protect from microscratches, but don't expect it to protect your phone from anything more than that.

It would provide very minor scratch protection by refreshing your oleophobic coating and making it slick, but like you mentioned, it won't protect from a real scratch.

There are some ceramic clear coatings for automotive paint that would probably provide stronger scratch resistance, but I'll tell you right now, they are DAMN expensive. $70+ an oz.

If you just want to redo/refresh your oleophobic coating, there are cheaper ways. Fusso makes a coating kit for tablets that will last you the lifetime of your phone and probably your next 2 devices as well.

This has the same properties as the ceremic coatings I use for car detailing, it is more than just a coating. It will protect from scratches but understand it will wear off.

Did it cover or hide the previous micro scratches? I recently got a Google Pixel 2 XL and in less than a month i have numerous scratches on the bottom side of the screen, was thinking if this would be able to cover the previous scratches.

I've had this on my S8+ for a month and a half or so.

Applying the "screen protector" was super simple. You just wipe your screen off with one wipe and then apply the coating. All-in-all it took me a minute of application time and I gave it ten minutes to sit before I used the microfiber to wipe off the "excess".

The coating is very hydrophobic, which means basically nothing to me because I don't go around dumping liquids on my phone . It did nothing for my existing micro-scratches, I was hoping that it would fill them in at least a little bit but they're just as bad as they previously were. It seems to help prevent new ones, though. I treat my phone terribly (in and out of my pockets with no case or other screen protection) and I haven't noticed any new scratching since I applied the coating. With that being said, I'm not convinced that it would stand up to anything that would result in major scratching. If I were more concerned about the safety of my phone I would definitely be looking at getting a traditional screen protector or a good case.
