Smudge on iPhone XR doesn’t go

Hey there’s a pretty big smudge on my iPhone XR due to gaming and me touching the same place on the screen a lot I tried a lot of ways trying to make it disappear but according to my research my oleophobic coating is gone if I apply a new coating and install a new protector so that I won’t ruin the new coating will it disappear ?

iPhone XR, 14
