Hot bath - weird colors coming out of the balls
« on: April 10, 2008, 08:44:46 PM »
Hi, I just wanted to share this with you and wanna hear your comments about it.

After a hot bath on my absolute inferno, I have found that the liquid that comes from the ball is not clear or yellowish as I would have supposed because of the lane conditioner, instead it has a purple tone on it. The last couple of times i did the hot bath thing I had to use white tissue paper or paper napkins to clean it because i didn't had a clean towel at hand and found that every one of the paper towels showed this purple tone after absorbing the liquid on the surface of the ball.

I have done the same with an epx t1 and the liquid that comes from it has a strong yellowish color.

Have you ever noticed something like this when extracting the oil from your balls?

I had a similar experience with an Absolute Inferno when using Legends Ball Cleaner on it. Every time I cleaned it with Legends cleaner, purple color came off it on my towel. I could stand there and clean it 2-3-4 etc. consective times and purple would come off on my towel every time. When I used any other brand of cleaner, this didn't happen. It happened only with Legends Cleaner.

When I cleaned it ocassionaly with Clean and Dull and then sprayed water on the ball to wash the ball after wiping off the C & D with a damp cloth, the ball would become discolored with a faded and whitish looking purple until it dried out. Finally got fed up with this and got rid of the ball.
