Ok...pulled apart my dk cp that i just got. It is an original cpo so i plan on swapping this cpo with the new one i got from mikes arcade. I also plan on using the buttons from this as well since they are in pretty good shape. Just want to know if there is any way to get rid of smoke stain above player buttons and over the instruction sticker area? I already cleaned with novus 2 prior to taking this pic. Any help would be great. thanks!

I'm trying to find the thread, but somewhere on KLOV somebody had polished a CPO (and I believe a marquee) to near perfection. Since the CPO and marquee are screen printed from the bottom. (Again, that's my belief)

If I find the link I'll post it. I'm looking for it myself.
 
Yes you need to sand and polish the areas until gone. Much like sanding scratches out of a vehicles finish. There is a thread here on how and what was done.
