    Default Cleaning Pachislos and Tokens Question

    Sorry if this is in the wrong section or if this has been answered elsewhere. It's been awhile since I've been on the site, its also been awhile since I used my Pachislo machines. Sad to say I neglected them for awhile now but I want to get them back in shape.

    I have - Magic Pulsar, Neo Planet, Hanabi Hyakei and a Red Meteor.
    What cleaning / polishing products do you folks use to clean the outside of the machines? (not sure if thats chrome or just some type of metal on the machines?)
    What products do you folks use to clean tokens? I don't have a tumbler though I know that was one way. I have about 4-5k tokens that need a bit of dusting / clearning.

    Once again I am sorry if this has been answered before or if I am posting this in the wrong section. If you can link to the proper thread that would help.

    Thanks,
    Weirdo

    windex and paper towels does a fast job on outside cleaning of pachislos, CLR or Dawn for tokens, throw in a handfull in a bowl, wash in hot water & Dawn/CLR, rinse and towel dry

    Thanks for the info luckydog.

    Are there any stuff you folks use to make the machines shiny again? My machines seem really dull since they've been unplayed and sitting in a box for 5+ years. I wanna make them shiny again like when I got them. Any help would be appreciated.

    Which type of surface...plastic chrome, clear plastic, translucent plastic. etc. Post a pic of the areas you are concerned about. Plastic polish does wonders for many types of plastic...I haven't tried it out on chromed plastic, not sure if safe. For clear, translucent, or opaque plastic...it shines great! Available at all car parts stores, usually in the wash and wax area. Novus products are HIGHLY regarded among other members. I have never used Novus...but I want to try someday!

    I am going to guess that dust got on them and the machines outsides are starting to rust, not sure how to go about trying to get it back in shape if even possible. I may buy some Novus to see if I can fix them. Thanks for the tips btw.

    Is the 1st pic metal? Seems like most exteriar chrome on these things are chromed plastic. I don't know what 0000 steel wool will do to plastic. If chromed plastic...try polish. for metal, 0000 steel wool.
