Cleaning and reusing playfield rubber

Clean rubber bounces far better than dirty rubber. Wipe lightly soiled rubber with carnauba wax or plastic polish on a clean rag, which also keeps it supple; dirtier rubber can be cleaned with alcohol or a whitewall tyre cleaner. Keep strong solvents off the plastics. Worn flipper rubbers can be turned inside out and reused.
