Front Console Screen Protector

I've found some glass screen protectors for the front console in my recently purchased xDrive45e.

Has anyone tried these? Is the front console material glass or a hard plastic? Does it tend to pick up small scratches with normal use?

It appears that instrument cluster is likely covered with a hardened clear plastic, so I'll be careful when detailing that area.

Appreciate your insight/experiences.

Xpel has templates for their installers to use for the console and they can use PPF for protection.

I think installation of XPEL uses a wet technique which I'd rather not do on a screen.

Similar to a wet application screen protector on your phone. If used in moderation, the liquid won't damage anything.
