    A quality metal polish with leave behind a protective film. I use Blue Magic polish, which says right on the label that it leaves behind a thin film of protective silicone. The good part for pinball is that the film is slippery. Great for balls, metal lane guides, metal ramps and anything else metal the ball touches. Game will play faster and parts are protected. Available at many auto parts stores.

    Quoted from swampwiz:

    I've just realized that I have a can of Johnson Paste Wax; would that work?

    Not a good idea. Johnson's paste wax, as well as most every paste wax, is designed for finished surfaces. Not bare metal. Metal polish is available at most any auto parts store and isn't expensive. Get the right tool for the job.
