Magic Eraser
« on: March 13, 2013, 11:34:11 AM »
Anyone ever use a magic eraser on their equipment? I read that there's no chemical in them and the secret ingredient is elbow grease. I bowl in a house that is absolutely terrible about belt marks. Thinking this might be a good idea. Any opinions?

I bought a 32 oz bottle a while back (which lasts and lasts...).  It might be glorified window cleaner, but it does the job I want it to and has the handy label telling you when it's certified to be used.  And since I use Brunswick equipment, I thought a Brunswick cleaner couldn't hurt.

I use Brunswick Remove All and I've never had a problem getting belt marks off.  It's approved for use during competition, I believe (I don't have the bottle around at the moment).

That almost shocks me. I didn't have  good results with it.

Why would you?  As far as I'm concerned it's glorified window cleaner...

I didn't want to say that, but I believe it is true. I gave a bottle of another cleaner to a teammate just to get him to stop using it.
BUT
if it does the job you need, that is THE only important thing you need to know.

The magic eraser is abrasive to a extent .... I have used before and it will knock the shine off ..and it did alter my surface a bit but got the ball exceptionally clean lol

I really used to like the neo-tac Nitro cleaner.  Does Brunswick still make/sell this?

A good thing to use for belt marks is a 3M white finishing pad, which you can find at Lowes in the paint department. It's like a super fine grit scotch brite pad.

They're fine enough that they'll take the belt marks off with light pressure but won't scuff up a polished ball.

Cheap, too.

Brunswick markets it for Neo-Tac, as far as I know. Some internet places carry it. Here's one

May be repeating something already mentioned. But it is illegal to use Acetone on the surface of a bowling ball before or during competition. I don't think USBC is talking about wiping off a small spot of glue but belt marks are a little larger than a spot of glue next to a finger and almost always are in the track for some reason. So would be pretty sure cleaning the surface of the ball would be a no no..

I do believe they change the surface of the ball tho. They are over 5000 from what I've heard....

They're too fine to change it appreciably - let's face it, EVERYTHING changes the surface (including the lane), and if it's aggressive enough to change a belt mark, it's affecting the surface. The finishing pads don't make any visible scuffs, which is good enough for me.

White Scotch-Brite pads are 1200 grit US/CAMI; that's about P2400 girt FEPA (the Abralon equivalent). They use talc as the abrasive; talc is what's considered talcum powder.
