    This is more a gut feeling from experience in other work with these, and please others share if Im wrong.

    If it isnt Naptha, and its playfield prep, and any of the others are used...mineral spirits, turpentine, coleman oil, wouldnt one want to follow that with a denatured alcohol cleanup?

    I find oil residue from all the others, depending on brand?

    Is this possible/correct?

    Yes, Naptha for the final...a good quality leaves no residue.

    My apologies, if I spoke wrong.

    I meant if you use the others, and dont have Naptha, the others could leave a residue.
    That residue may be removed by Alcohol?

    Im usually working with old wood, but through the years, alot has depended on the quality of the product.

    Are you planning to clear coat? I would guess the coating manufacturer would have their recommendations.
    If just cleaning, start with the least affective and work down in a non seen area, as different playfields, years,
    all have be created with different methods....

    The title of the game, and what you wish to accomplish, would likely bring in smarter people than me!
