I think the problem here is I see most people are wanting to buy this as a replacement for clear coat. This is supposed to be a playfield protector, not a replacement for clear. The fact it scratches is part of the protection (scratches it not your playfield). Difference is with your PF you can novus the scratches out to a point. Seems this product should be used to help save an old playfield that's starting to have wear issues or to put on a routed game to prevent the wear from starting and not to be used as a replacement for a professional clearcoat job (the shiny look).
