    I recently purchased my first pin and have been studying the forum section for a ton of helpful information.
    The pin is in really good shape, with no signs of wear on the PF. It is a 1996 SS Capcom machine. It is a HUO pin.
    The prior owner told me he used Novus 2 as a cleaner and Millwax on the PF.
    I've read tons of threads on the problems with using a silicone, and the general discussions on Novus products.
    If I want to start using carnuba wax, do I need to remove the silicone/millwax product first? If so, how do I go about doing that?
    Also, thinking about longevity, and trying to make sure the PF stays in top shape, should I remove the Millwax?

    Thank you for the replies. I was also concerned that the wax would not adhere to the silicone, but it sounds like that isn't the case. I don't have any plans to re-clear it any time soon since it is in top shape. Clean and wax. Thank you!

    Thank you. I just placed an order for some Blitz. This seems to be the choice for many pinheads.

    That's what I was thinking too for a cleaner. I read thru a lot of old posts that mentioned using that product.

    I purchased a Breakshot. I love the idea of it being simple old school and open PF without too much distraction. I like seeing he ball move around, and I needed knock down targets. The capture in the middle is a cool feature too.

    Otaku,
    Thanks for the insight. I'll see what works best. Maybe since the PF is already real clean, I'll start with Napatha first.
