I've recently bought a 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Pro base model 16GB / 512GB. This is a fantastic machine, and super fast. I am delighted with it.

It is in great condition apart from one thing - a blemish on the screen. This is no problem most of the time, as I can't see it in normal use.
A couple of times where there has been a strong light source, it is visible, but I can adjust the position of the device to make it disappear.

The previous owner told me that he had tried to clean a couple of scratches using some kind of fluid, which caused the marks.

Is there anything I can do to restore the normal appearance of the screen ?

I should say that the attached photo looks far worse than when I'm normally using it !

Thanks.

There is probably nothing you can do to fix that. It looks like the previous owner rubbed off some of the protective coating.
 
You could take 4K Grit sandpaper to the whole face . . . on the other hand, you just could just (perceptually) forgive the imperfections, and roll-on with your usage ;)
 
Thanks, chabig and splifinggate. I suspected that it's best to leave it as it is.

It doesn't affect my enjoyment of using such a superb machine !
