Has anyone noticed that their hardtop attracts a lot of dust, lint and other small particles? It almost seems as if there’s more static on it than a regular wooden playfield. Any solution for minimizing this?

Quoted from BertoDRINK1:I've had my Comet done over a year now and don't notice any dust build up. Have you waxed it?
I have only waxed mine twice both times before a 3 day weekend long show.
Yes. I’ve both waxed and used Wizards Mist N Shine which is supposed to prevent static. But, I still get a lot of hairs and lint on the playfield. And that stands in sharp contrast to my other pins with regular playfields.
Quoted from wamonkey:You know the fact is you can see it now....it was always there but the surface had a dull finish and was likely so blown out that you could never see the dust.
A hardtop shines and you can just see it more.
Maybe. But I have two NIB modern games with wooden playfields and haven’t noticed this. I’ll try to take a picture next time I have the glass off.
Quoted from vid1900:Clean the paper filter in your shopvac (so you get a full power suck), then vac the entire machine, especially the bottom of the cab.
Lint and hair have to come from somewhere to get under the glass.
Dust of course just comes from the coil stops and rotting rubber.....
Maybe that’s it. I’ll give it a try.
