I've done a couple of test patches and I gotta say this stuff takes a bit of elbow grease with the Magic Eraser.  It does remove ball swirls and the glue residue from the mylar but at the same time it does dull the surface.  I found that Nifty actually does a pretty good job at getting rid of the black marks too but hopeless on the glue.  Man this shit smells a bit like jet fuel - it's taking my head off :)

Will keep trying and take some photos soon...

I would use only Isoprophyl Alcohol with Magic Eraser because with ME - you are actually using the liquid as a lubricant and to agitate the dirt from between the cracks of the playfield. MOST of the liquid evaporates.

Shellite has the same properties as lighter fluid - Don't inhale too much of it - use a well ventilated area.
