Looking for opinions on keeping my AFM that was restored by Bryan Kelly a few years back, and has only had a few hundred games since, looking great.
I was wondering if I should get cabinet protectors that go around the flipper buttons to protect that area from wear. Should I be concerned about that in a relatively light use home environment? Also, should I put a coat of carnuba wax on the exterior of the cab to help protect it? (even though there will be no sunlight on it, of course)

Unless you have a bunch of kids coming over and playing on it beating the hell I wouldn't go that crazy with protectors around the flippers and waxing the outside. Definitely get the leg protectors so the decal doesn't wrinkle
