Quoted from PismoArcade:Can't seem to find 99% alcohol; only 70%... Is that ok?
You have to ask the pharmacist for it, they keep it behind the counter.
Quoted from PismoArcade:....and I'm done! It came out amazing! Much thanks to everyone, including PracticalSteve for sending me the link to this thread.....It was pretty exhausting. The last time I had wrist pain over a Playboy was when I was a teenager....
Wow, what a nice looking game. Taking your time and being careful pays off.

!Quoted from Prmailers:How much pressure are you applying with the ME? Also, do you soak the pad, or wring out the excess per the directions on the box?
I followed the advice of Schertzpinball and cut the magic eraser into a few pieces. Then I put the 91% alcohol in a bowl. I always wrung out the alcohol before using.... you don't want to get the inside wet.
Don't do like I did and test the pressure in the middle of the playfield... find a hidden spot and start there.
It takes some practice. I work the same area a few times. Dip the ME cube in the alcohol about 1/4 of the way in. Using small circles, you will get a yellow "paste" of old wax and alcohol. Wipe up the paste with a rag and dip the cube again. My bowl of alcohol never gets dirty because I don't squeeze any of the old dirt back into the bowl. If you get too much alcohol on the cube, no biggie, just squeeze over the rag. You will get the feel for it as you progress through the cleaning. Repeat the process until there's no more paste. You can feel it when you get up the wax because a lot of the friction goes away, there's no more paste, and your Playfield is shiny again.
I followed the advice given here and good results last night on my BoP. I cut the ME into cubes and just covered the mouth of the alcohol bottle (70%) with the ME and tipped it.
I had used ME before on the playfield but removed a little of the artwork and stopped. I made the mistake of making back and forth motions and with water (oops). This time, the ball swirls came up easily and without further damaging the artwork.
