Vid,
This is going to be a great thread! The lines made by the pinballs down in the in and out-lanes and orbit drive me nuts. I always worry that If I don't stay after them, they will end up being permanent. When should I start worrying about these lines...I've been using an air compressor to blow off the play field and vacuum along with keeping new pinballs in the machines when ever they seem nicked, but they I keep getting these lines. I've been using Novus 2 to hand wipe them out and Novus 3 when Novus 2 didn't work, then Blitz wax. Pins are 2006 POTC and 2007 Spiderman 2013 Metallica
Am I being a little to obsessive about the lines?
Is this the right way to go about getting rid of these lines?
Last, I've been working around cars and body shops for along time, I've got a Spiderman that looks to have just a ton of light clear coat scratches(only visible in bright light) that won't come out with Novus 2 or Novus 3 rubbing by hand. Typically on a car, we use the wool pad, then foam and keep working up to the final wax(wetsanding if necessary). I am completely comfortable buffing a very expensive metal car, but very scared to use a buffer on a pinball. Is there a Technic you would try to get rid of some of this haziness or clear coat scratching that does not involve a buffer.
FYI, In case anyone is interested another pinsider turned me on to this mini vac attachment. $10.00 on Amazon and it goes on most vacuums.
