Question

For those that have purchased or will be purchasing a NIB Metallica or any NIB machine, would you wax the playfield before playing it the first time?
If so how many coats of wax and what kind of wax?
I have a dirty donny premium ordered and dont know if I should just play it right out of the box.
Let me know your opinions on this one

I always clean the easy to reach areas and then two coats wax.

Get rid of any assembly residue.

Clean the balls too before you install in the game.

I waxed mine with 2 coats of One Grand Blitz, and it's much faster. I also set it up at around 7.5 degrees.

Not cheap, but worth it!
