I have used simichrome for years on old woodworking tools and more. My pin legs were rusty, I cleaned them up with naval jelly and then polished with this stuff. They look like new now

Pinball Life has it (currently on back order)

Thye outer cabinet of my 1988 machine has bad planking issues. I believe that with our humidity swings here in Wisconsin that the problem only gets worse overtime. I considered clear coating the outer cabinet to at least seal it up, rather than a complete restore. I was reluctant to wax it being concerned that any wax residue could interfere with a future new top-coating. But it sounds like Naphtha will effectively remove any old wax if needed in the future.

So do others recommend that I wax my outer cabinet to help protect the wood and reduce moisture transfer?

What sort of soft cloth do you use? micro fiber or will my old teeshirt suffice. And can I keep that polish cloth dedicated for that use?

Last summer I searched everywhere. Everybody was out of stock. I was finally told that the company had a fire and production was halted. I ended up with the chemical guys 3x paste wax. It is carnauba with an advanced polymer and an easy lid. I like it

I can't find this set on the HFT website.

I can not find that vacuum set on the HFT website??

I would try cleaning with some basic soaps, dish soap, simple green and move to stronger ones.

Pinballlife sells a cleaner that works great on standard white rubbers.

I heard that the factory had a fire. nothing beyond that

I do know what yow could dilute it with. it is used to dilute paint.

I do not consider it that dangerous, not like lacquer thinner, but good ventilation is still wise.
