Cleaning Big Blue
« on: January 29, 2004, 08:45:48 AM »
Thanks to JKiser I got a chance to try oine of these gems and I am impressed thus far. But I have 1 glaring problem with the ball...it gets so filthy it is disgusting!!!!

Mine got so packed with dirt, oil and grease tonight that I totally lost the bal lreaction in game 3.

Now the question....reactaClean wont touch it, alcohol wont touch it and I am not going to use acetone unless I have to.

What have you guys found that works best for cleaning this ball???

Thanks !!!!

well kotm it does nto surprise me that you think the track stuff is better because that is not just a cleaner...it is a cleaner with an abrasive.

if I wanted to alter the surface of the ball I'd just clean it with a scotchbrite and water.

once I  get a reaction I like in a ball I am not too keen on changing it because of cleaning.

No Doc I did not treat with Elixir because #1, I dont have any and #2 the ball was polished etc before I got it so I want to see what the ball will do before I alter it any.

for now the energizer is working so I'll use that until I find something else that is better.

Oh OK...I made the asusmption that Clean N Dull was like Clean N Sheen which contains an abrasive compound. Obviously I have never used the stuff.


I stand corrected.
