    If you have “wet spots “ you did not prep correctly.

    You dont wax the protectors. This may add to the cloudiness, they need to be polished. Traditional waxes that fog and leave white residue is a no no.

    That may be due to playfield unevenness and may be unavoidable in small sections. Mechs torqued to the playfield clear coat unevenness but should not be all over. You must removed the “oily” new playfield residue , i used nepthia on one machine that was new and had such amazing results i had to go back and redo three machines and have extremely minimal “wet spots”

    Quoted from durgee7:

    Interesting. I followed all the directions from Playfield Protectors and even got their feedback on blowing compressed air between the surfaces to remove the spots (which didn't work). I always thought it was the uneven clear (high spots) making perfect contact with the pet-g...but who knows. I want to believe you.
    I would never wax these. Just clean surface on occasion.
