I always add mylar under pops, as well as any other high wear areas. Like mentioned above, wax the playfield first.

Quoted from wayner:

Always add non adhesive mylar under pops-never had a problem and provided great protection.

That's worse than no mylar at all. Dirt and grime gets trapped under the non-adhesive mylar, and gets ground into the playfield, and wears it down much faster.
