Quoted from MT45:

This - mine appears to be caused by waxing the PF first - seems like the protector bonds with that wax and almost looks like water has gotten under it.
I did not wax AC/DC before adding the protector and I do not have any mottling. I have pulled the protector up on BM66 to check out the impact and there is absolutely nothing you can see or feel in the spot that "shows" when you lay the protector back down! I also did not have this issue on my BBTS (and I did NOT wax that one first either). Guessing it's the wax and also am pretty sure it's benign.

Did you clean the playfield with anything before putting the protector down? i.e. dirty playfield under protector...

Quoted from MT45:

No. Only thing I did was wax it

I thought waxing first causes mottling?
How long did you wait after waxing before putting down the protector?

Quoted from MT45:

Just started to see some mottling on the AC/DC install - again, this is one where I did NOT wax beforehand ... so it looks like wax or no wax, it can still show up. For now it's very minor. I'm in the same boat in that I will live with the mottling as it's a small price to pay for the protection

Mottling Pics please. I was thinking of putting one on my STLE. question: can these protectors go over “Cliffy protectors”.
I would be nervous taking the cliffies off if they are in good shape.
