    You need to clean the surface with Naptha before putting on the protector. Doing that will strip off the chemical that causes the moisture (looking) spots. Then reinstall the protector.

    Cheep fix...dude clear coat your pf!

    Yep, there is no equivalent to doing this. I just bought my first HEP restore and there is no comparison. However, clear coating a pf is not for everyone and commands a lot of work or a lot of money. For what you get with a pf protector its worth it. I have 6 W/B machines that have really nice original play fields and I installed pf protectors on 5 of them. (because we like to actually play or games everyday) The protector makes a really nice original pf look even better and in some cases like or better than new. And yes, I know the traditionalists don't like them or the way the say the game feels when playing, but I cant really feel the difference myself and you can't blame a guy who just wants to protect that original pf and play his game.

    Your supposed to remove the ramp. You can cut it, just install the mylar underneath the protector.

    Quoted from albummydavis:

    This is not moisture and not from a chemical. The are newton rings caused by refraction of light between two materials. Check the previous threads on this. A bit annoying but not an issue.

    I used the Naptha when I had this problem on NIB Hobbit. The moisture looking spot never returned. So say what you want, I am just posting my experience.
