Quoted from Whridlsoncestood:

A little alcohol and magic eraser and we are as cleaned up as this is going to get.

I'm new to this hobby and have some basic cleaning questions for you:

1 - Can you expand on your cleaning methods a bit more?
2 - Are you using alcohol on a cotton rag (with elbow grease), then going over it with the Magic Eraser? (or vice versa)
3 - What kind of alcohol do you use?
4 - In your experience, is the combination of alcohol and a Magic Eraser safe enough just for a thorough cleaning (i.e. when you have no intention of stripping the playfield down, sanding and re-clearcoating)?

In other words: If you were not completely restoring a playfield - yet the playfield was pretty dirty - would your cleaning techniques change?

I have a Taxi and am looking for the best/safest/most effective way to clean a System 11 playfield....

This thread is amazing! I've learned quite a bit!
