Quoted from NPO:

Has anyone ordered ones off of eBay, or are the ones on eBay the same ones in the original post which started this thread?
Thinking about buying one for each game, so I'd like to get it right the first time.

We have never ordered off ebay. to avoid confusion try

https://www.playfield-protectors.com/

We have 8 machines. We have fitted 4 playfield protectors so far and the other 4 arrived last week. We are fitting them on new and old machines. Main reason for us is to keep the playfield looking as good as possible. Unless you want to polish them with novus no2 they play slower than a playfield without one. You need to make sure that your playfield has no wax before putting the protector on and be prepared to use a small amount of double sided sticky tape to hold the protector in place.

We started by putting one on Addams six months ago. Game is HUO. 1400 games on the machine and we are fans of this product.

We have playfield protectors on all our machines now. We are a fan of the product. You can lightly use novus no 2 to polish the scratches out. Only down side for us is when fitted on NIB the manufacturer uses some sort of wax that is silicon based and is extremely hard to remove, Any residue and the playfield protector sticks to the playfield. We have invented a tool to get underneath the protector each service to stop the protector sticking to the playfield.

Quoted from Robl45:

Why is it bad if the protector sticks to the playfield?

The protector could pull the clear or paint off the playfield. The protector also expands and contracts at different rates to the playfield.
