I'd hate to be the only one knocking the project but those AFTER shots are terrible. The Glare coming off the playfield is just shocking...Oh....that's supposed to happen coz of the shine coming off the machine...right.....LOL. On a serious note, brilliant effort, you've gotta be pleased, but tell me...why did you stop at only doing those few points listed, I'm sure you could think of others to do, Jeez there is 24 hours in a day you know LOL. Great work and will be copying some of the little niceties you've done.

They were cleaned with Novus 2 came up like new.  The black ones are new from BAA, they are too big though, just on there until I find the original grey ones

Great work KTM.  You should look at producing those slot machine target brackets, I'm sure you'd be able to sell a few to other TZ owners.

Found a couple of photos in my phone, so they are a little blurry.
First is the posts before polishing, you can just make out the amount of surface corrosion on them
Second is after polishing on buff at work, they are not perfect but a hell of a lot better and look brand new in the game.

Good work. Do you apply any polishes when buffing?
