Quoted from girloveswaffles:Pin_Crazed said:girloveswaffles said:I wouldn't, however, use Novus on a regular basis. #2 and #3 are slightly abrasive. Using it to get some deep down grime on a rare occasion, maybe.
That is why they work, they finely polish the surface, removing small scratches. I agree, you should not use Novus2 often, use wax to clean up the play field. I use Novus2 in two or three applications depending on how hazed the play field is on the initial shop and clean, followed up with several coats of wax applied with a detail ball on my cordless drill and removed by hand. After that it only requires a bit of wax on a soft cloth to follow up and remove dirt build up from use. Looks amazing, plays amazing.
Actually, you shouldn't use wax to clean. Do you wash your car every time it's dirty, or use wax on it?
Years ago I was told this by a WMS technician. I was also told that you can use light detergents, or even soap and water (lightly applied with a rag) to clean newer play-fields ( specifically clear coated ones) as long as nothing containing Ammonia is used.
But using Novus (especially #3) will remove paint or fog surfaces by itself. It's not a cleaner or wax, it's a polish (As in buffing rouge).
And as I'm posting this right now, I have a Bottle of Novus #3 right here with me
On the back, top paragraph:
"NOVUS PLASTIC POLISH NO.3
Removes heavy scratches and abrasions from most acrylic surfaces. Contains abrasives. Not for use on eyeglasses, polycabonate, or coated plastics."
Yes. Novus CONTAINS ABRASIVES! Would you also use an emery cloth to clean your play-field?
This is why you shouldn't use it on a regular basis.
Of course most of us dont use novus #3 anyways, Simple green to clean, novus #2, then caranauba wax. Mill wax will lift your mylar and dont use it on ramps
