Part of an e-mail message from the guy who wrote the Repair FAQ:

-----
Have you checked the CRT FAQ at:

http://plop.phys.cwru.edu/repairfaq/sam/crtfaq.htm
    
(later version than on the REPAIR pages).  I think it has some additional
stuff on monitor screen repair.  However, I don't know of any approach that
is reasonable for antiglare coated screens short of polishing the entire 
thing - any attempt locally will result in an unsightly blemish!
