Just picked up this Fish Tales. Poor machine was rarely.if ever waxed. Rubbers where chalk.
The pic is after one application of novus 2. I am considering three options.
1. Keep polishing and get it the best I can (might use polishing ball)
2. Fix minor insert wear and mylar the whole area
3. Fix minor insert wear and clear.coat the whole thing

See poll!

I sold my first FT and this ones a keeper. I am going to put it in my arcade because I like to share but I want it to last. I think I am.going to clear it! Just need to replace the insert decals first
