    Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:

    Spotted this today in the Iron Maiden manual. Stern recommends Novus 2 for playfield wax.

    There is NO WAX or protectant in Novus 2 - it's plastic polish (headlight cleaner)

    Quoted from jboner1058:

    Hey vid, do you know of a soft shop vac attachment brush that won’t scratch a playfield? I have a glass polish on my playfield and taking a nylon brush attachment that was linked earlier in the thread to it that felt soft to me ended up scratching the hell out of it and I just lightly brushed it.

    Thanks for the tip, I think this mistake could easily be made. I would only use clean microfiber to be safe.

    Quoted from joseph5185:

    I lied ...
    This looks pretty "solid" for a complete n00b like me...
    http://pinhedz.com/
    I don't understand most of it, but I like the presentation.
    This was mentioned a few pages back around a year ago and virtually went ignored...
    I'll actually shut up now.. =/
    EDIT: I went to https://www.flipnoutpinball.com/ (which I respect more out of all the other companies listed), looked for pinhedz on their site and they had no products to show.
    Hmm...

    Pinhedz has many retail dealers, some of which sell the products in store, and some online. Flipn out was owned by my buddy Larry Kitchen, he sold Pinhedz primarily at shows. When he sold the business to Zach, Zach made the decision not to carry any small items. They are focusing strictly on machines.
    You can get the products from many dealers, or online at Pinball Pro, Cointaker, Mezel mods, Pinball Wizard, Tilt Graphics inc
