    Quoted from getbettersam:

    I(s there any product that's works better then novus 2 on your playfield? Or works the same and cheaper

    Just about everything else is better. Novus 2 is a rubbing compound not a play field cleaner. It is not a wax. It does not protect. It should never be used on a playfield. Clean it with a cleaner like simple green, wax it with a carnuba wax. Throw the novus away.

    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)

    Actually, I know of someone that was using novus 2 to clean ball wear marks by hand and ended up with wood showing.

    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 ?

    Simple green heavy duty cleaner. Comes in a purple concentrate you mix. It's very strong and bio degrade able. You can douse your ramps in it, star posts, playfields. Its great stuff.

    What game? Pics?

    Addams family. Game is long sold. People don't keep games forever nor would I be rushing to a friends house to post pics on a forum lol.

    Clean your playfields once properly then keep the waxed with a real wax and you'll never need to "polish" them again, seriously. This is also why you want to wax your brand new games from the start.
