Your comment is very regionally specific, I’ve never seen a car with a dash protector In Michigan, in fact most people here have no idea what they are.
I do a quick coat of blitz, I want my first handful of games on a new pin to be as chaotic as possible.
Quoted from Darkwing:Always give it at least a quick coat of wax on the playfield. Not saying you need to do a full teardown...
The people who say you don't need to wax your playfield are the same people who never put down a dash protector in their new vehicle. Just figure out if that's you or not
