Hey - picked up a Royal Rumble (WWF) recently and got a second unpopulated playfield in the deal.

The one currently In there has raised inserts and faded colours and this one is in much nicer shape aside from it being super dull in spots. I’m toying with the idea of clearing it but either way I’d like to clean it up a bit.

What’s the best approach for trying to get the shine back on the portions the ball has touched? I’ve given it a quick whip with naphtha and a magic eraser to try to get the mess of wax or whatever else was previously put on it (it’s caked into gi sockets and holes throughout)

Is there anything I can do? Or just wax it and accept the fact it is what it is?
