Been combing through this incredibly insightful thread, and just wanted to clarify that Novus 1 might not be the best choice for regularly scheduled cleaning, and that Naphtha can be use more safely to clean your pf?

All my games are HUO, but get quite a bit of use. Is Naphtha safe to use everytime my games need a cleaning? And is there is there still a point of using Novus 1? I get that for ball trails or light scratches I could bring out the Novus 2 on occasion.

And lastly, is Blitz still the top choice for wax?

Cheers

Is this the product you're referring to:

And is it advised to use this every month or two when I clean my games before waxing?

I'm still a bit unsure of why and when I'd need Naphtha. If I'm already cleaning and then waxing with something like the above product, why would I need to use it?

Also, what's best for ball trails, ball swirls, and light scratches? Novus 2?

So let me make sure I have it right. Every couple of months, for my HUO games, it's advised to wipe down the pf with a micro fibre and do a little vacuuming?

Would something like this be a good fit: https://www.amazon.ca/Dura-Vac-AA255-10-Litre-2-5-Gallon/dp/B003M2F7NI/ref=sr_1_16

Then, if there are ball swirls, I can apply Novus 2 gently in a circular motion to remove them? After wiping that away, should I put something like Novus 1 on to clean anything I might have missed since it is abrasive? And then finish up by applying some wax?

I'm still not certain when or why I would need to use Nahtha.

Thanks again

How about the other items from my post:

Crap, I've been using that stuff!

What's the best way to remove ball trails and swirls?

Should naphtha be used each time you give your game a clean up, or is it better to use Novus 1? From what I've read earlier, you mentioned Novus 1 can be slightly abrasive.

Just wondering if it is safe/recommended to use naphtha on 90's-current games. I usually do a clean up every 2-3 months.

I've used some tips from this thread, but still can't seem to get rid of the trailed left from balls, and also the trails left from the flippers.

Anyone have a solution to cleaning up the inlanes down the flippers, and the path that the flippers travel. Looks pretty bad on my LOTR, and Novus 2 just doesn't seem to do much.

Thanks
