The build up in the pops on this VND was so bad I had to use Mean Green and a scotch brite pad to get it clean and it sill took over 30 minutes to do just this area. I've seen dirty but never like this.

The flash really shows how much texture there is to the build up.

Balls are really going to need some attention as well.

mega build up between the pops

wouldn't attempt with the green & black mold on the ball - just replace

Did the previous owner pour bacon grease on there?
Wow. I would not have thought it could be cleaned that well.
Nice work.

They are glow balls, and I don't think you can buy "replacements" anywhere...

This was from an op and I think they ran it till it died. Whatever that stuff was it was rock solid, you couldn't even chip at it with a screwdriver. Shooter lane, in front of the flippers and slings and to some degree the outside orbit had the same issue.

My bet is decade old Dr Pepper.

Got one ball done. Certainly better than it was and and way better than nothing.

It must feel great to put the time in and see such a beautiful result. Awesome!
