Vid, thanks for the wet sanding tips. I tried dry sanding my clear coated FH playfield but after polishing I was left with a dull shine and I could still see lots of scratches. I wet sanded using water with a drop of dishwashing liquid. I started at 1000 grit, then 1500, and finished with 2000, using as little water as possible to get the job done. After sanding I polished with Novus 3, then Novus 2. I’m very happy with the results, thanks Vid!
