Scratched up AntiGlare screen on a Apple Studio Display?

I picked up an Apple g4 studio display today. One of those where the entire back is clear and sits on a swirled acrylic stand.

Got it home and plugged it into my Powermac g4 and works fine. However that's when I noticed that the front of the screen looks scratched, and becomes quite distracting when trying to use the monitor. It makes it almost like you are looking at the monitor through a dirty window pane.

What I could only assume is the AntiGlare screen has worn off over the years by being scratched. I tried to take my fingernail and see if the rest would come of, but no dice. Makes me wonder how it got damaged in the first place.

Any ideas of how to fix/ remove the rest of the screen so it won't be so aggravating looking through it to the CRT below?

(I've uploaded a pic to give you more of an idea of what it looks like)
