    Quoted from chuckwurt:

    I have never used that. I have used both Mothers Pure Carnauba wax, and Blitz. I have to say, Blitz is awesome! definitely using that from now on. Also, I have found that simple green is much better for removing black ball swirls than alcohol. Use it with a magic eraser. The swirls come off much faster and you don't risk taking up any of the paint in the process.

    I would be careful with Simple Green.
    It is capable of removing paint, especially with a magic eraser.
    I have a 5gal jug I mix up for cleaning purposes,
    I have had paint removed from an old floorjack I was degreasing, All I used was diluted simple green and elbow grease.

    The return springs for the jack were soaking in diluted simple green and the paint bubbled and scabbed off just like paint stripper.

    When something works 'really well' at cleaning a painted surface, usually it is due to removing
    the paint that is holding the dirt rather than the dirt from the paint.

    I'm not trying to come off as a know it all,
    Just be careful when using chemicals on a painted piece of wood.
    cheers!

    Quoted from chuckwurt:

    All I know is, I have used both (alcohol and green) on two early SS games (Big Game and Strikes and Spares) I definitely saw some paint show up on my magic eraser when using alcohol, and didn't see anything but dirt on my eraser when using Simple Green. I didn't go crazy and try and rub super hard, I just used a back and forth motion and immediately wiped the area down with a dry microfiber towel, and it was spic and span in no time.
    Do you have a preference on removing those pesky ball swirls? I am still new to this stuff, so I am always looking for new tips

    Hey if it works and ya dont see paint, use it.
    I was just letting you know that simple green does have the power to remove paint which surprised me as well.
    I thought it was just a environment friendly mild cleaner/degreaser.

    As for any tips on ball swirls and playfield cleaning/repair,
    read Vid's guides. (Posted above...) -Dude is legit...
