45 year old EMs don't have much top coat left to start with. It's pretty worn. So I'm not sweating it. ME and alcohol and Novus 2 followed by wax work absolutely fine, without a new clearcoat.

Just FYI, pure carnauba is like a rock. So they have to use something, usually petroleum distillates, to soften it.

The point is, lots of people saying don't use stuff with petroleum distillates etc in it.
Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:This isn't rocket science, although some try to make it seem like it is.
No doubt of that.
Quoted from Black_Knight:Any 100% Carnuba wax is great for your playfield. Label discussions just start religious wars, like anything else.
Get the hard stuff, nothing that is a past or soft, they have additives.
100 percent carnauba is hard as a brick and doesn't exist in any kind of commercial wax.
Something is always used to soften it.
