    Default cleaning and detailing your machine

    I was just wondering what everybody uses to clean and detail their machines?
    I use a high quality car wax on the outside of mine and buff to a high gloss. It seems to work really well and makes them look brand new.
    What are some other things to use if any?

    Ill just repeat this from one of my old posts!!!!!

    Here are the 3 best items needed for Cleaning your machines and I will put these items used together against all commers. For ease of use, for cleaning properties, surface finish retention and polish, shine and surface feel.
    1 WD40 for removing the glue and or unwanted stickers, removing the smoking tar and stains on the plastic case as well as the metal surfaces. Without being acidic and caustic to your Plastic finishes. SIMPLE GREEN AND THE ORANGE CLEANERS ARE MUCH TO CONCENTRAITED FOR THE FINE POLISHED PLASTIC FINISHES and yes they do dull finishes.
    Item #2 a cotton cloth or chamois and nothing else! All paper products are made of wood and Scratches the plastic causing swirls to be seen on every surface even if the surface looks shiny you will see all of the crazes. also paper products cause static to build on these surfaces attracting dust.
    After wiping off the wd40 with many fresh cloths comes the final clean and polish using item #3 Brillianeze. Not only does it clean it leaves a very sharp polish (Reflections are clear not dull) it is ANTISTATIC and for the most part is FINGERPRINT proof. I have used this in my motorcycle shop on Extremely HIGHEND bikes for 13 years. It is one of the few Plastic Polishes
    Certified by the FAA for use on AiRCRAFT windshields and what I used on the planes I have flown. It is used exclusivly by The Metropolitan Museum of Art (My work place) on all of their display cases after I recommended it and they had it tested in their labs for its properties. another of which is that it inhibits yellowing of clear plastics with time. After using this very sparingly (Its good to use in a fine atomizer bottle) You wont believe what the surface feels like as well as looks. If anyone cleans there machines with these items and then tries something else that is better I will NEVER POST A MILLION GOD SENTENCE AGAIN! And I dont work or have any interest in these products.
    Of course if you already have surface scratches they will not be removed with these items. http://www.brillianize.com/index.html
    One more detail item use Formula 2001 not armorall for Tokentrays, hoppers and all black plastic surfaces as well as wire sleeves and rubber trims.Not to be used on plastics with chrome or clear plastic as it leaves a residue .

    Well I don't know what slots you have but the fronts of mine are all plastic and chrome. And a high quality liquid carwax buffed with a buffing cloth brings out an awesome shine. They look brand new!
    Now if your talking about the sides and backs Why would you detail that? Mine are all painted black and look good besides my machines set so close together you can't really see the sides.

    Yea. I couldn't understand why you would detal wood either. Some of the black paint that some venders use start to fade and dull kind of quickly so thats what I was thinking but couldn't see how it would work. On the front of games I use novus polish 1,2 and 3 as needed. Otherwise simplegreen and or windex.

    follow up:
    Tokens can become sticky as they are handled. Esp. when handled by inlaws or children. The coin paths get gummed up and jams occur. 'Slippery' tokens don't jamb.
