next i started on the painful job of mylar removal, the part i definitely hate doing most!!
This pf had three areas covered with mylar, the main lower section between the flippers and bumpers, around the bumpers them selves, and the top arch area.
1st pic is after the clean up, mentioned in the previous post,
2nd pic shows the top arch area half way thru mylar removal. Notice too the haze from the test cleanup with magic eraser and isocol, (got a bit ahead of myself)  :lol
i didnt get any pics of the lower section mylar coming off, but the 3rd pic shows the bonus area, where some paint DID come up, i knew that SOME paint would lift, i was VERY careful and took my time removing the mylar, i was just hoping that it wouldnt happen in this area  ^&^ ^&^, as the bonus insert area was the one part i was most concerned about paint lifting... and making the job harder for me  !!!, not impossible, just a bit more work than i had hoped i wouldnt have to do.. anyhoo, it could've been a LOT worse i guess!!

And while i was removing the mylar, Martin decided to give the plastics a bit of a cleanup with some warm water and detergent, they came up pretty good, and will look even better with a polish up.. I'm pretty happy that the plastics are still in nice shape, and wont need to be replaced!
