For anyone who isn't already familiar with this, my wife's V165 has the "Coke" logo showing through an upper plastic panel, and by the time we got this machine it had gotten pretty banged up.

I have a cleaner for pinball playfields called "Novus", and since it's meant for removing scratches from plastic surfaces, I decided to give it a go on the Coke panel.  The results were wonderful!

I will post a pic soon, but wanted to get that info out there for those of you who might have light scratches in the plastics on your machine.  The Novus I have is "Novus 2".

Hope this helps someone here!

I might have to try that. I have a mark on the pepsi logo on my machine that is kind of annoying that I would like to get rid of. Where do you get this stuff at?

Here's an example for you, most pinball places have it.  Mine is the #2, in the red bottle:

My wife's machine has a scratch clear across the "Cola" part of "Coca Cola".  This really helped hide it, along with alot of smaller scratches.  I usually hate stuff that I just can't go into a store and buy, but I took the recommendations from fellow gamers and pin owners on this one.  They were definitely right.

When Johnie G and I were at Pinball at the Zoo we both picked up  a couple of bottles 
#2 & #3  and we both have had good luck with it.

It's also available  on Amazon, and multiple Ebay sellers.
I've used Novus on Jukebox parts, as well as old phones, it's amazing stuff

You should be able to find it at a motorcycle shop. We have sold it for years at our place.

I would have never thought that a cycle shop would carry that.  Interesting.
