Thanks very much to all for the info - & sorry it's such a noob question - but there's so much debate on the net about (for example) whether novus 2 should ever see a playfield - while others swear by it, & it alone. From there the list of good & bad products grow until I was lost in a wealth of information (& misinformation). I'll start with the Nifti sprayed onto a cloth & see how that goes getting the worst grime off Demo Man (might leave it on Wesley Snipes). I''m also rethinking the mylar given the support for waxing.
