scratch-proof
Won't show marks
Scratch-proof describes surfaces or materials resistant to scratches: scratch-proof lenses, scratch-proof coating on the watch face.
The term appears in marketing for eyewear, phone screens, and cookware.
Like most "-proof" claims, it typically means scratch-resistant rather than absolutely impervious to damage.
