Be warned, though these are abrasives and I wouldn't use them on a glossy-surface.

Lots of info in rec.games.pinball on them -- worked wonders on the horribly-dirty playfield of my Flight 2000.

Cheers.

Agreed. These are abrasive and will scratch perspex. Using one to clean some marks off the walls of my home left dull and lightly scratched patches.

It did the same on my sideart, but ran over it with a damp rag, then "buffed" it with a dry rag - perfect!

Also, completely removed marker tracing on my bezel stickers!

LOVE IT.
