Title: Cleaning a Rapid Fire
Post by: ctwings10 on March 17, 2008, 10:43:56 AM

I've been out of bowling for a while, looking to get back in.  Been lurking for a week and picking up a ton of info.

I'm looking at getting a Rapid Fire to start, to replace my very old equipment (that broke while I moved).  If I'm looking to maintain the OOB 1500 surface, what product would you folks recommend for basic cleaning after a set?  Additionally, what would work to restore the ball back to 1500 (abralon is 1000 or 2000?)?

I use Storm X-tra Clean after every set on my equipment.

In a recent post, Storm recommended using Reacta Clean as an every set cleaner and X-tra Clean only for marks and dirt Reacta Clean won't remove.

I've had great success with X-tra Clean, so I'm sticking with it.

To return to box, I've had success with gray scotchbrite followed by Storm Step 2.

Step 2 is a compound finish and for best results, it needs to be applied using a ball spinner.

Reacta Shineâ„¢
This one-step polish and cleaner safely restores that "tacky" feeling to reactive bowling balls. Reacta Shineâ„¢ finishes to 1500-grit with or without a ball spinner and provides outstanding length and monster backend reaction.
