Hello everyone!
I recently purchased an ASM through pinside and plan on cleaning the playfield before creating a custom playfield protector (from 0.02" PET-G). The playfield shows it's age and history with all the ball swirls and cracks. Overall, I'm satisfied with the playfield having most of it's art intact. Before beginning the playfield cleaning process, I made sure to read VID's extremely long (and extremely helpful) post on cleaning playfields. From what I gathered, the playfield should be cleaned with as little force (effort?) as required. Naphtha will be my friend along with some pre- and post- naphtha vacuuming. I bought those nifty vac attachments from amazon for around $10. I've "cleaned" playfields in the past using Novus 2, but I'm not so sure that's the route I want to take on ASM, especially given the paint condition. I'm just hoping for any tips or tricks, expectations, any feedback or recommendations you guys have before I dive into this project. My DE tmnt playfield was cleaned using novus 2 on mylar to shine it up, light magic eraser with 91% on wood/paint exposed areas, and the playfield turned out looking sharp, especially with playfield protector on top.
Thanks!
