That looks like the inside of my guts after a heavy night. Glad you decided to do a clean and avoid PF damage.

Make sure you post pix of a nice clean machine

That's an awesome result for one Day's work. Looks to be a very tidy machine. I've seen far worse.

I've been told that black rubbers can be a cause of grotty playfields. Especially if you're playing it heaps. :lol

Is the cab under the playfield dirty too? You might be getting a bit of dirt migration from underneath maybe.

Black rubber is only useful to lazy ops.. Also doesn't have the same bounce quality as white.

Not to mention how awful it looks on EM and SS games.  %.% Guess you could say i'm not a fan of black rubber.

Normally I and my dad would never put black  rubbers on a machine but White Water looks so great with black flipper rubbers. White=to bright, red=doesn't suit machine and black = okay but DIRTY PS. I didn't remember to clean flippers! !!!

I concur.

Black rubber was introduced so that Ops would not have to service and clean their pins regularly = lazy ops = filthy and poor playing machines !

I'm not a fan of black rubber. Better off using rubber bands.
