Yep ... love the magic sponges.  :cheers:

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.

Also not recommended on DARK surfaces. Leaves a dull whitish film behind.

NO MORE!!

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!

I use it to remove sticker residue on sideart. It also made my Lethal Enforcers CPO look new again.

LOVE IT.
