Quoted from teksavy:

Hi:
I just had my AFM playfield swap done and while the work done was great, I was disheartened to find some of inserts with "clouding". (Please see pictures.)
Had I noticed this before the swap, I would have never moved forward with the work. It is like a fly on a beautiful cake.
The playfield is a Mirco reproduction I purchased back in 2011 and had the clearcoat polished. It sat in my home for about 6 years before getting installed.
Can anything be done short of replacing the playfield again? Uggh.
Thank you for any thoughts on the matter.[quoted image][quoted image]

Have you asked Mirco?

It looks like the clear is lifting off the inserts.

There are some really switched on Pinsiders that will be able to tell you what that is and if it can be repaired. I have received some amazing help from Pinside re playfields.

Quoted from PinRob:

Would Micro do anything about a 9 year old playfield
I’m wondering how the playfield was polished, by hand or mechanical. If mechanical than would the heat from that process contribute to what is going on with the inserts.

You need to let manufacturers know if there are any stuff ups. Look at the response from Mirco.
