Thanks Guys will be off to the supermarket and supa cheap auto, for supplies.....

Will post before and after photo's once all my bits and pieces arrive.

Like most things in life it's important to seek advice before diving in, and never having cleaned a pinnie yet wanted reassurance I suppose  !@)

how often do you guys wax your playfields, and how often do you do the clean.

Thanks for the tip on remote battery holder. Have to make 2 of these up now :)






Usually the dirt on the rubbers is a good indication. I've heard collectors wax their playfields every 50 plays - but that's a bit too frequent for me. I tend to look at the slingshot and flipper rubbers. When they become very dirty, it is time to clean the playfield with shellite and a paper towel (to remove the old wax). and then clean with Novus 2 and then paste wax again. I'd say I do this once per year on my most played machines. Paragon needs to be done soon !
