I take it that this is just like Wizard Shine that was discussed in another thread but I can't remember which.

That Mill wax will be hell to remove if you should ever go to refinish your PF. The silicon is very, very difficult to remove unless completely sanding it off.
Maybe some simple green and a ME pad. Don't be overly aggressive and start by doing a small area first. If it works, clean/wax and you're good to go.
Quoted from pinballinreno:Always re-wax the playfield in areas that naptha was used as a cleaner. It readily removes wax.
Oddly naptha wont harm anything on the playfield.
It's the only thing I use to remove wax, no residue to deal with.
Here's a question that has alluded me with my online research. I know that EM PF's were varnished not clear coated, my question is when did they make the switch when they first came out with SS or before? Did the early 80's SS pins all have CC PF's or is there a year they started clear coating SS pins? My Star Race 1980 and my Circus 1980 look different with Star Race looking like it was varnished but Circus looks CCed.
