Bought a polishing kit from Treasure Cove to help out the dulled playfield on my LOTR.
I am NOT an expert, but I will give my impressions on this.
Watched the DVD, then went to town. The Powercut #3 was way more gritty then I expected. Like it says, let the pads do the work. Do Powercut #3, then #2, then #1.
It's hard to tell from the photos, but it did a good job. The playfield has much more of a shine than it did when I started. I don't have matching "before" and "after" photos unfortunately, but hopefully you can get the idea. I still need to buff it with the final pad and apply some carnuba.
Before:
After:
Here's a before and after video as well. There's still more to do, but I think it worked pretty well.
Before:
After:
Will it make a heavily routed game look brand new? No, I don't think so. Will it make a lightly routed playfield look really nice? I believe it will. If you have a HUO machine, I think it would make it look amazing. My LOTR was pretty heavily routed, so I am happy with the results, and I am not done yet.
Can't wait to get this done and back together!
