That epoxy process sounds like the real deal. My neighbor went through something similar with his garage floor, but he had a whole other layer of trouble. He didn't get all the old oil stains out before he sealed it, so now the stains are just permanently locked in under a shiny coat. It looks good from far away, but up close it's a mess. He says he'll just throw a rug over it.

Watched my buddy who fixes laptops just lose it last week. A college kid brought in the same MacBook for the third time this semester, screen totally shattered again. My friend just stared at the new case of glass he was about to open and said, "This one's going to be a ghost." He fixed it, but he didn't even put the Apple logo sticker back on. Just handed it over blank. That kind of tired hits different.

But what about phones without a pro mode?
