    It's not that Novus 2 won't work or is the worst ever. It is that why not use something far less abrasive if it works really well? I.e - simple green or something similar. I always clean with the least abrasive item that still does a good job.

    Quoted from JoeJet:

    Because using Novus 2 leaves a great shine but other similar products i have tried dont.
    We are not talking going nuts using Novus 2 here.. this is only for cleaning/polishing clearcoated playfields and I am not aware of anyone ever tearing through clearcoat with novus even using a drill/polish pad. (which is what you do with the treasure cove kit anyway)

    Right. I highly doubt you'd tear through any clearcoat on a nice PF. But I can clean with simple green, then use alcohol to get rid of any simple green hidden residue and wax. it shines like crazy

    Quoted from Chrizg:

    Where does one buy simple green locally at? I have looked before with no luck in IA. Is this the correct product ?
    amazon.com link »

    Home depot and lowes both carry it and I end up picking it up there. Walmart also had it when I was there a while back, but been a long while

    Quoted from Chrizg:

    What is the difference between Simple Green and Isopropyl alcohol cleaning wise. I typically use the alcohol for cleaning. Is the simple green a better cleaning product ?

    I use the simple green first and it gets rid of dirt a lot better and then the alcohol 70% mix next to remove any residue then wax. If you dont remove simple green residue it may not shine as well
