Quoted from unsavory:Thanks for the feedback! Can you suggest the best method for cleaning the playfield and at what frequency? The wholesaler that I purchased it from only told me to go in and tighten everything on the playfield that has a nut or screw as they loosen in shipping.
Quoted from Jediturtle:Do not use anything more harsh than you need to clean. Most cleaning can honestly be done with only a microfiber rag, though Novus 1 will shine it up quick. Novus 2 is great for heavier cleaning, but there should be no need for that any time soon (if ever at home). A good carnauba paste wax (not liquid) is an optional step. It's not really necessary on a new clearcoated playfield, but it will offer a bit of protection and help it stay clean longer. There are many other options for cleaning and waxing, but these are the most tried and true, and there is really no need to look beyond them.
Yes, there will be many different preferences on playfield cleaning, but on NIB games, I pretty much just use a microfiber cloth and Novus 1 to clean the playfield, flippers and rubbers and then use some 'Wizards Mist and Shine" as a finish wipe down on the playfield.
Do this as needed... might be once a month or once a week. Usually every hundred or so games played in my case.
Also - turn down the trough eject setting to as low as it will consistently eject the balls to prevent shooter lane damage and also add Cliffy, Mylar or similar to prevent shooter lane damage.
