    Vid- So i see the wax you recommend, I see that you say a good vacuuming should clean up the field..... what I didn't see or missed is your recommendation for a Mild cleaner if the vacuuming doesn't cut it......

    someone asked about the cp-100... didn't see a response.....

    Thanks for all your info this is really helping out a newbie!!

    Quoted from cody_chunn:

    Hah, OK. Make it personal...whatever.
    Vid made a point to recommend Naptha, which is a petroleum distillate, and I imagine in much higher percentage than what's found in paste wax. So there are mixed signals here to say the least.
    Are petroleum distillates bad or not? Aren't we here to discuss things like this without bringing people's rectums into the conversation?

    Rectum.... almost killed'em....

    Quoted from ZNET:

    I, too, am a big fan of Gemini's CP100, particularly for playfields. It's a versatile waterless cleaner, which can be utilized on wood, plastic or metal. I have used this product for years on dozens of games, with success and without causing any ill-effects whatsoever. As stated by the pinsider above, CP100 leaves no residue. Indeed, it's perfect for removing the film left by other products. I buy it by the gallon.

    Quoted from vid1900:

    Yes, CP-100 is 98% Naphtha, so you can count on it's cleaning abilities.

    so can you wax over cp100? i know it leaves a "slick" finish itself, but can you?
