Polishing in playfield windows

[Spandangler]

Hi group



Ive recently accuired a nice Congo, it's all very shiney and clean with the exception of the lower pf window. It's the same as the CFTBL hologram window.



It's not too bad but is a bit cloudy, so was wondering if anyone had any top tips for buffing it nice and clear or whether flame polishing would work.



Failing that anyone got a spare clean one to sell?



I've found them in the states but they are fairly pricey.



Thanks



Gaz

Novus 2 should do the job. It's amazing stuff.

Thanks Mark, I've Tried it but maybe I ain't buffing hard enough. Time to purchase a new tin of elbow grease!

Gaz,



You need a polishing kit. I can recommend this one

I've used it on a couple of playfields so far - squirt some novus 2 on to the playfield and polish away with a drill on slow speed. Managed to bring a dull / knackered Shadow playfield back to life not too long ago.



Cheers

Thanks mate. I'll get a drill attachment at the weekend and buff away!!

If what you're polishing is plastic (I think it is) be REALLY careful things don't get hot. It's very easy to melt a groove into the plastic. Obviously really not what you want.

Yes it's plastic, I'll tread carefully. Thanks for the tips everyone
