    Dont know if this has been covered before, but has anyone tried one of these spray on ceramic car products like shine armour on their playfield? It seems to be safe on all kinds of surfaces, and looks pretty good on my truck too, lol!

    Mirco has used (or offered a ceramic clear) as an option years ago. I had a Mirco reproduction TZ playfield with ceramic clear on it. It did not hold up well, very brittle. Unsure if they still use a ceramic clear coat now.

    Was thinking the same a while back, so asked Mr. Kruzman if he ever used it...his reply below:

    "I have used ceramic and it is hard as a mutha, the problem is you can't work it. You can't block it and then polish it, you can't really even compound it, it's so fricken hard. so I stopped using it."

    I think there are 2 different products people are talking about. The coating the op is asking about is more like a wax. The other is a clear that gets exceptionally hard, I think a few automakers experimented with it as a scratch resistant coating.

    I worry about Shine Armor as it is water based. Wonder if it would swell the playfield or since you wipe most of it away there would not be enough moisture to do any damage.
