Quoted from IdahoRealtor:Is there any upside to installing a playfield protector?
- Preserves original look of older playfields
- Provides a level surface over cupped inserts or the edges of lower playfield windows
- Protects against wear from kickout holes, ball drops
- Much cheaper than a new playfield or clearcoat.
- Less work than a playfield swap or strip for clearcoat
- Look great
- Peace of mind
- Company is easy to deal with
Quoted from Marvin:This literally makes no sense and contradicts itself. Let's put Grandma's couch covers on the game, just like it can from the factory originally.
Here's the deal: You find an old game, an early SS, and the playfield is very good with very little wear. You like the way it looks, so you don't want to touch it up and you don't want to clear it. You want to play it but you know that these older games only had a thin varnish, are old and damage easily. This is the perfect solution because it's reversible and keeps the old look of the original playfield.

Quoted from Nepi23:I have factory installed PF protector on DI without the wet spots - I have no clue of the manufacturer of the protector there.
Playfield Protectors also makes (or made) the protectors JJP uses.

Quoted from hassanchop:But with the pf protector, the ball sometimes makes an effect that never happens on a clear coat pf: It makes some harsh slowdowns on some moves. For example, the ball comes at high speed and out of nowhere it slows down way faster than it should to the point that almost stops.
Sounds like something is wrong with the installation of the protector. It may not be totally flat.
