Hamilton, ON
Quoted from Black_Knight:No. Please read the posts directly above yours.
Don't know how I didn't see that. So what should I use?
Quoted from Nokoro:Are those scratches in the clear? If so, replace your balls. They may be pitted or chipped.
Some amount of clear coat scratching happens over time which is why it is important to wax regularly to make that sacrificial layer.
If not scratches, does it wipe up with your finger? Does it seem oily? You could try naphtha to see if it goes away. Perhaps you didn’t clean your balls of the oil before you put them in the game?
I'll take a better look at it when I can tomorrow. Unfortunately this is my first machine and I had someone who apparently knew how to install machines but I know I didn't see him check the balls before putting them in (and I didn't know you are supposed to) so I'm really hoping I can get this out. Its brand new only like 500 plays
Quoted from pinballinreno:Novus 2 will smooth out the scratches,
Blitz 1000 or P21S (silver can) will protect the finish.
When applying wax, less is more. Its not Spackle...
A proper coat should look like fingerprints on glass.
Let it dry thoroughly, then wipe off , then buff with a flannel (yellow) rag.
Vacuum out the cab and any remnants when your done.
Let it dry a bit, you should be good.
You cant build wax coats, its impossible, one is enough.
A lot of people skip the vacuuming.
Get a small shop-vac (1.5 or 2 gal) They are really handy.

Store it under your game.
Thank you I appreciate it. I did try a do a bit of cleaning but was still waiting for my Novus so I did apply a bit of wax. Should I use Novus 1 first and see if I can get them up before going to 2? Should I try and remove the light wax I did ?
Quoted from pinballinreno:Ronsonol Branded lighter fluid at a local store? Its perfect.
This is the also the real thing:
"Recochem" Camp Fuel sold at Rona. The SDS for it says 100% Naphtha
Coleman fuel is pretty clean and works good in a pinch:

Is this safe to use on machines? Sherman Williams sells the VM+P Naptha but I need a contracter license to buy it
