I purchased one of these for my first pin. I played the machine about 10-20 times, then fully shopped it and replaced all rubber and installed the protector. That is important to understand as I ask my question. Has anyone noticed that these greatly increase the ball's ability to "grip" the playfield and spin. Seeing as I replayed all of the rubber, flippers, balls etc. and this is my first machine, this could be completely normal with new parts.
Quoted from Gatecrasher:I don't really notice much of a difference as far as the ball gripping although it is obviously more friction than it would have on a bare waxed playfield but less than one with a factory Mylar applied. Kind of in-between.
The coefficient of friction for Mylar is approximately twice that of PETG.
From my experience with the Rolling Stones pictured above the gameplay is excellent.
The gameplay feels really good on Cirqus Voltaire. I noticed when you hit the ringmaster with some force, the ball will jump off his face and backspin back up a bit. I imagine this could also happen on a naked playfield. Overall I'm really happy with the protector, it seems like a very nice product.
Quoted from protectors:You can also wax our protectors to speed up your game. But please use very little amounts of wax.
That's good to know. I am perfectly fine with the way it plays, I was just curious 
. Overall I like the product a lot. After installing it, I've noticed that it has picked up an insane amount of dust and debris under the protector. I cleaned everything before installation, but the machine seems to have produced some extra dust for me.
I recommend anyone installing one of these do a deep cleaning of the playfield beforehand as it will just annoy you .
Quoted from John_I:I've done a few and never got dirt under one of them. Maybe try vacuuming or blowing the playfield clean before installation? I probably have a thousand games on my Abra Ca Dabra since the install and it looks and plays great.
Yep, I need to take down the playfield and do a much better cleaning job. I have like tiny wood particles and dust that seems to have come out of nowhere to sit under my protector! I don't think this has to do with the protector at all...rather a game that has been sitting for a long time, and I just cleaned it and started playing it.
