Quoted from JackSlater:Novus and LOTS of scrubbing with a towel. I bet the pf will never be shiny again.
Not necessarily. I've cleaned up filthier games than that and made them shine!
Should have bought on the spot, strapped it to your bike and been on your way with a smile. How big are your saddle bags nahh never mind...
Super exclusive ad from the Pinside Marketplace!

Me too.I once rescued a BK stored in warehouse for 5+ years with no glass over the field.Turned out nice.
Quoted from Sunfox:For whatever reason, TSPP tends to create black ball marks more readily than any other pin I've seen. That one would probably look pretty good after a full cleaning!
May be due to the fact that TSPP probably has the most moving parts of any modern Stern
(5 flippers, 5 ball stop/release points, 3 pops, 3 drop targets, 1 giant Homer head, and a garage door) and an exceptional amount of metal ball guides.

I operated one and it didn't get dirty any faster or slower than most all the others. It does have a light playfield, so it shows dirt easier, but it's not as bad as POTC or Tron with the spinning disks.
That one, considering it's in a tiny town, probably hasn't been cleaned in at least a year. That's thousands of plays of dirt. As opposed to the one month before/after pics posted here recently of the IJ game at disneyland. Almost the same amount of dirt, very different time periods between cleanings.
Recently found out my (very lightly routed) TSPP is now at facebook headquarters. I really, really hope it's broken. Facebook sucks worse than video games.

I hope you're getting their quarters!!!

Nah. It will shine up nicely with some elbow grease. With enough effort you could probably make that PF look like it has hardly been used.
