If the playfield is in the game, make sure you cover the insides of the cab above the playfield. I used sheets of newspaper. The kit works great but sends the cleaner paste everywhere in a circle (speed of the polisher/drill controls how far! ) so if you don't protect the black sides on the inside cab you will be cleaning for quite a while. Also cover the display panel in the same way just to be safe. The kit works really well especially on mylar. Just takes abit of preactice to decide what speed to run your drill or polisher at.
Good luck ME
By the way - used it on DE, Bally, Williams diamond plate and sys 11 laquer . Works the best on the games with the best clearcoat left but still nice on the others as the final waxing/polishing gives you the shine. I use a 6 inch polisher I picked up at CT on sale a few years ago and a drill for the small end if needed but I tend to strip my playfields completely so no real need for the small end.

Works very well, comes w/ the dvd so follow that.
It's like painting a car or something, masking is the longest part. I just use the widest blue painter's tape to make walls / barriers around everything including pops & slings. Even when using small amounts it does get flung under everyhting so make sure u mask right to the pf.
I don't own any DE's but the Wms / Ballys I've done I usually pull the pf as far out as possible - most wear is near the flips anyway...
Make sure u have a HIGH speed cabled / non rechargeable drill, I p/u a DeWalt for like $30 a few yrs ago.
Remember, polishing is essentially wearing away micro-amounts of material.
