    I've read different threads about Lexan / Poly playfield protectors. They are all basically the same, someone installed a protector, then people comment on it, then it fades away.
    One question that has been asked in most or all threads is -

    Does dirt and grit get under the protector, and ruin the playfield underneath?

    I haven't seen an answer to this question yet. So to the people who have installed a protector. After some time has passed, how dirty does it get under the protector? And does it dig into the original finish?
    Thanks

    Quoted from solarvalue:

    It really doesn't get that dirty underneath in my experience, a little dust at the edges is all

    How long has your protector been installed? How noticable is the dust?

    Thanks for the responses.
    Anyone else put one in?
    How has it held up?
    Is it dirty underneath?
