I'd guess no such thing exists because there are too many isses to overcome when trying to create a workable solution.

How could you stop moisture from getting in between the screen and the protector and condensing? That would be the biggest challenge I'd expect.

EDIT:- Sorry! I was thinking Arthur55 was meaning a glass protection screen, like most mobile phones use now.

There’s PPF (well, I guess GPF really) available for windscreens e.g. the Xpel one.

I second PPF/GPF for windshield. Also helps prevent glare.

I had to replace my windshield 5K miles ago. My windshield has at least 10 chips already. I hate the windshield on these cars. Next replacement, PPF
