I finally had some time today to start working on the playfield...
So, using Gavin's advice, I cleaned the playfield with Metho on a white cotton rag. This worked very well, and didn't lift any paint - something I was glad about, because the yellow was peeling away a bit already.
Unfortunately, the Metho didn't remove all of the mould. There was some really stubborn mould around the flippers and slingshots. I tried using a make-up pad soaked in Metho to lift the mould, but this didn't work either. Finally, I thought I'd try something new... "Exit Mould"
I was very unsure if this would affect the paint on the playfield, so I tested it in an area that wouldn't be noticed... It did not lift or damage the paint in any way! So, I gave it a shot on the stubborn mould... It worked a treat! ;D
The Exit Mould removed the stubborn mould in one gentle wipe!
I didn't spray the Exit Mould directly onto the playfield, I opened the spray bottle, and applied it directly to the rag.
Here are the before and after shots of the playfield:
Not bad hey!
I also used "Carnauba Wax" to wax and polish the playfield. You can see from the pic on the right how nice it has come up.
Next, I will be washing all the plastics and replacing the rubbers, globes and balls...
