Vid - I used to wax with Blitz and found it really only lasts for 10-20 games. Then the surface is back to normal (i.e. the ball isn't flying around at 400mph and gliding a finger on it feels like it's not waxed). Is waxing really necessary? I'm asking you specifically because you're a minimalist when it comes to cleaning (vacuum + naphta) so needing to wax seems unusual.
Also, maybe this is a better ? for the playfield restoration thread, but wtf is up with the clear coats on JJP and CGC games? It's super thick, super shiny, but chips like a can of Pringles. Meanwhile Sterns don't chip and seem to only exhibit the same issues WMS playfields did (i.e. insert clear coat lifting). As the expert, what are CGC and JJP (Mirco) doing wrong? I put PPG on my restored PFs and they don't chip for nothing so it can't be that all the no-chip formulas are banned for environmental reasons. What's your take?
