    Perhaps I'm just noticing this because of the big white column in the center of the playfield but it sure seems like my new Tron gets dirty really quick. I admit that when I first took it out of the box I didn't do a complete wipedown of the playfield & ramps mostly because my kids were standing right there wanting to play it. Then, of course after they went to bed *I* wanted to play it!

    After a couple days I could see lots of little back dirt marks right in the center of the playfield. So, this morning I pulled the glass out and cleaned everything up real nice. Sure enough after about 5 games it's totally dirty again! I don't seem to remember my other NIB games getting dirty this fast.

    Tonight I'm going to take the balls out & clean them up good, then also give the playfield a proper treatment with Blitz wax and see if that doesn't help keep the dirt away for a bit. Of course, the game may be too fast to play by the time I'm done!

    Quoted from smassa:

    I sure hope you didn't just take the balls that they gave you and put them right in without either cleaning them up really nice or putting in premium ones.

    I wiped them down with a clean cloth, but that's about it. That's all I've done w/ my other NIB games and they've seemed fine.

    Quoted from CafeOne:

    This game is filthy!! It's definitely the disc

    Agreed. Cleaned the game & the balls this morning. Waxed everything down. 5 games in and there's little rubber skid marks on the balls & playfield once again.

    Quoted from NimblePin:

    I clean/wipe down the disc probably every 80 games to keep it grippy

    What do you use to clean the disc with? Naptha or ???
