Quoted from phishrace:

The first place dirt will show is in the inlanes and just above the flippers at the bottom of the slings. When you see ball trails in the inlanes or dirt above the flippers, it's time to clean. If you don't actually see any dirt, don't clean it.

Yep watch them inlanes. To go a little further...you don't have to be super anal aboot cleaning and do it all the time like some people might say.
I've also never used any carnuba wax on any game I've owned.

Don't be worried aboot using novus. Been going on forever and hasn't killed nay playfield I've seen (diamond plated + that is).

Quoted from Wolfmarsh:

put novus 2 all over it, let it dry, and then buff it off like wax.

WTF?!

Seriously a new person with an ACDC machine does not need to bust out the Carnuba. Frankly most people don't. If makes some people happy to do it to their games and that's awesome, but it is not needed.

This has become so semantical aboot what a wax really is and yada yada. Yes it is not wax, it's a plastics polisher, as it states on the front. Just get over it. You're "waxing" the machine, or playing "frisbee," "using a kleenex," whatever.

TZ is 19 years and looking great...hope the next 10 years aren't the death of it.

True I can't comment on newer Sterns much when it comes to PF wear. My RBION looks real sharp and i gave it a Treasure Coving when I got it. I know I have heard maybe the PF these days aren;t what they used to be? Don;t really know but I've heard people complaining...of course complaining aboot Stern isn't too hard to hear.

Quoted from vid1900:

So you think that the noobs are buying $7000 brand new Sterns?

Absolutely. I see threads on it all the time.

So do I, but I just don't picture them being the majority, but maybe they are.

Sure I didn't mean that.
