    My 8 year old daughter is having a birthday party tonight and I was getting the machines cleaned up. Went to put down some wax and realized that even after wiping it down it was still pretty dirty.

    What do you guys use to CLEAN your playfields between waxes? I was thinking of just using a denatured alcohol or something similar that would strip the wax off.

    Please give me your thoughts.

    Thanks!

    Interesting responses. A lot of suggestions on the Novus 2. I used that when I first got the machines -- along with some magic eraser when I needed to get some really ground in dirt or swirl marks.

    Here's the question though... Novus 2 and magic erasers are both abrasives. I would imagine with a diamondplate pf it would take some time, but especially for pre-diamondplate... is it a good idea to be using an abrasive for a general cleaner?

    Wouldn't it be much better to use something that chemically cuts the wax and cleans, rather than taking it off with an abrasive?
