Quoted from swampfire:

My Paragon looked just like your JL when I got it. This is what it looks like now. Magic Eraser for the win.

DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU PLAN TO CLEARCOAT THE GAME.

How do people keep missing this?

Quoted from aaron__b:

Would novus be better than magic eraser on the ball swirls? Or do i not worry about them at all. I think applying a clear coat might be a bit out of my skillset for now...

What you're doing when you use a Magic Eraser to remove ball swirls is actually removing the lacquer finish put on by the factory. This means that any NEW ball swirls will be in the paint itself, irreversibly damaging the playfield. Just wax and play. A hard top would be nice but it's still a decent amount of work.
