    I have a game somewhat near my kitchen, and was wondering what the "go to product" is to clean and maintain the cabinet without effecting the original graphics.

    Maybe just a slightly damp microfiber towel?

    But sometimes I cook food (like bacon) that creates grease on the glass, so I know it gets on the cabinet as well. I want to clean the cabinet without effecting the original graphics.

    I use simple green. Have never had artwork wear off with it.

    I bought this to install decals and it works great to safety clean cabinets. https://rapidtac.com/rapid-prep.html

    Warm water with a little soap won’t hurt those decals. Damp cloth not soaking wet tho.

    Time for one of those cabinet covers!

    I wax the cabinet when I wax the playfield. Cleans up easy afterwards

    LA's Totally Awesome at the dollar store works great at removing grease and nicotine stains off cabinets. Spray on the cloth, not the cabinet.

    Maybe cover your game so you don't splash cooking grease all over it?

    Good idea, time for a blanket! You can find a plethora on amazon.com

    If your machine is in the kitchen, I assume there are windows that allow sunlight exposure on the machine. Over time, sunlight will affect the outer surface of the machine and dull the paint or decals, not to mention heat or other things in the kitchen that might affect it while cooking and what not. Having said all that, I will just mention that I purchased a cover for my machine similar to the one on the ebay link attached. I am not endorsing this seller, as I am not familiar with them. The cover appears to be the same as the one that I purchased from the "Gameroom Guys" several years ago and I like it. A blanket might also work if it covers the back box and the main portion of the machine. Just my opinion.
