What to use for cleaning rubber parts and the playfield in general.

[phreak97]

What do people use for cleaning the different playfield materials?

[Strangeways]

Cleaning products vary for different parts. The best general cleaner is "Novus #2" for playfields and plastics. You can use stronger cleaners like "Nifti" but they can be harsh on plastics. I use "Simple Green" a lot these days for really good results. Whatever you do - no water based products on the playfield.

Thanks, I actually bought a set of Novus 1, 2, 3 years ago, I should still have it somewhere.
I’ve seen people use Mr. Sheen on playfields. Thoughts on that?

I’ve been using Mr Sheen for years. Great for everything pinball related and more. Even use it to keep the motorbike clean too. Doesn’t build up and leaves pf lightning fast.

Mr Sheen and Nifti were the two products used by operators as far back as I can remember. Mr Sheen for playfields. Not only did it clean, but it polished. I'm not surprised that people still use it - but make sure you spray onto a cloth, not directly on the playfield.

I reckon I’ll give it a go then, good advice spraying onto a cloth first. I can imagine lots of overspray in hard to reach places.

In the old days it was a playfield clean down with Isopropyl Alcohol, Nifti for the rubbers & plastics & mr sheen to re wax the playfield.
