    Quoted from Crash:

    I soaked the Titan silicone rings in a 50% bleach/water solution for about 20 hours and they cleaned up 100%. Not a trace of brown smoke stains anywhere I can see!

    I would still like to find something I can wipe on existing rings when moving a game from a smokey location to a clean one though.

    I would try the Bleche-White.

    Quoted from fiberdude120:

    When you think you have enough pictures take about 30 more and that will be good.

    and then take another 30. The thing i did the first time i ever did this was get a piece of cardboard similar in size and when i took something off, i put in on the cardboard in its respective place. Posts can be screwed into it etc. then i took a marker and drew a very rough pf on it ie 3 circles for the bumpers and any other major things to remind me how things go.

    Quoted from mystman12:

    I'm about ready to wax my Stargate playfield again, mainly because I have the ramps out to get them welded back together. I'm going to buy some Novus 1, but I did want to know, how can I tell if it's safe to use? I'm pretty sure the clearcoat is still intact (I can see *plenty* of ball swirls!) so does that mean I'm good to go? (I don't want use Naphtha because I don't want to remove the old wax and I'm not going to do nearly as deep a clean as I did the first time.)

    i believe Novus 1 doesn't harm anything, it has no abrasives in it. But wait for someone more knowledgeable to confirm this.
