playfield waxing
« on: April 16, 2017, 09:16:16 PM »
I have a brand new pf and a nib game on its way. Is it common practice or advisable to wax these pf's from the word go or only after the first clean?
Still loving my Metallica Premium

I don't think there is a right or wrong way. I'd wax them after their first clean. Enjoy the game before cleaning it !

I think I will get slayed for saying this , but , Mills Wax all the way on a newer play field. Been using it from the first pinball I have owned and loooooooove the stuff.
I use it on plastics, flipper rubbers, rubbers and even my balls. Hell I even give my rod a wax now and then.
If it isn't broke, it isn't pinball.

What do you use on a newly clear-coated playfield?
