I picked up a T2 yesterday that is in need of attention. Mainly just a good cleaning!! That's part of the fun of the hobby right? Anyways I tore the playfield down and decided to address this spot on the cab that was bugging the crap out of me. Looks like somebody decided it would be a good idea to put a sticker on the side of the head at one point. Then when whoever took it off it left a big nice sticky spot on the cab that was never cleaned, and it looks like it soaked up 15 years of cigarette smoke! I've been hearing about this Magic Eraser thing so I decided what the heck. The sticker looks like crap so I can't make it look any worse. Here are the results!

In the first pic I had already started rubbing on the top spot with the Magic Eraser and 91% alcohol.

This is after I got all the old sticker up. Just take your time and wipe the area off from time to time. This is the residue the eraser will leave once the alcohol dries up. We'll get this cleaned up with a treasure cove kit. Novus might work also, but you will be rubbing awhile!!! I used the black pad and the #1 compound from treasure cove. Don't press hard! Just let the pad and the compound do the work. Start with a slow speed and work your way up to high speed to make it really shine.

I'm sure if I rubbed long enough it would. I would not attempt this without a machine buffing system like the Treasure Cove kit. I tried to buff the residue out with Novus 2 by hand first and didn't get very far.

Now I just have to do the rest of the cab!

Ill have to look into that in the future. This wasn't sticky really because it was so old.
