Quoted from Sorokyl:

Hey guys... I have bought this old routed LOTR that I'm trying to take care of. It was quite dirty when I got it. The figures were basically black.
I have wiped it down with naptha a few times, used novus 2 once, and applied blitz wax after cleanings.
But I notice that the playfield is cloudier/matte where the ball can reach, and shiny where it can not, you can see in the inlanes and above flipper here.
Is the clear coat just scratched up or gone? I do see one tiny red crescent below the two Rs in "for ring", which I believe is the printing starting to wear?? That implies the clear coat is gone there?
Is there a way I can make improve this playfield safely? Or should I just continue to keep it clean and waxed and not use any more novus
Thanks!
edit: adding second picture of playfield. On the characters faces (specifically Frodo, Aragorn, and Legolas) you can see little red spots on their skin.

Thanks guys. Any comment on the magenta spots starting to show up? I'm just thinking if that is due to wear, then the clear coat is already gone right?
