Hello All! My girlfriend and I did our first playfield cleaning last night. When I bought my Addams Family a month ago it had a light layer of dirt all across the playfield and up the ramps. I read about Novus 2 here and it is everything and more that everyone said! It quickly and easily lifted the dirt without harming any playfield art work or paint. It also left a nice gloss finish. I elected to go over my playfield with Turtle Wax Carnuba Wax that said it was safe for clear coats. It turned out really well also! We also cleaned and waxed the balls. I can't believe how much faster the game plays now- its almost too fast, but I'm sure with some practice I will get used to it.
We only cleaned and waxed the playfield in the areas that were accessible without playfield dis-assembly- we plan on doing a full playfield dis-assembly and shop procedure this winter as a project. Some would have just waited to clean the playfield until the full shop, but the dirt got on my nerves and I'm very proud of my TAF and didn't want to have to play it another two months staring at the dirt on the playfield.
I have attached two pictures, the before and after was more noticeable in person. The first picture is with the right hand of the mansion cleaned with Novus 2 and not the left side and the second picture is of the mansion fully cleaned. It's amazing how much brighter the lights look now that they are cleaned.
Ok, enough of my ramblings, just wanted to share my experience with everyone.
