I just used novus for the first time. Im not sure how long I should wait before applying blitz wax.

I used novus 3, 2 and 1. I read that novus has solvents in it. I've done some guitar finishing and I know that the solvents have to flash off before going to the next stage in the finishing process.

I watched some head to head cleaning techniques on youtube and novus gave the best results for what I'm working on. Im on williams 78 world cup that was probably never cleaned so it needed a little extra grit. Also I did some touch up around all the inserts and the novus flatten it out nicely.

I did wipe the novus off with a clean cloth after and didn't let it dry on the surface. I read that it had solvents in it that I can still smell on the playfield when I stick my nose to it. I used to finish guitars with lacquer and it had to pass the sniff test, no smell what so ever before continuing with the finishing process. I usually took 30 days to get to that point. I'm quite sure this wont take that long but I dont want to screw this up either. Im practicing on this machine first but I have 4 more in the hopper and want to make sure I'm doing it right.

It passed the sniff test and I gave it a coat of wax. I forgot to ask how many coats does one apply?

I just finished buffing off the second coat of wax. Now on to the reassembly part. I'm happy with the results and plan on using this procedure on each machine I have. This was a real pain to do but worth the effort. The blitz wax is something I've never used before and well worth the money.

I got it all back together. It looks like a bowling alley. My cheap camera cant ever take a picture of it.
