Dishwasher!

No soap. No heat dry. That should do it

I too am having the same problem.  It is by far my favorite ball of all time.  It is so versatile and I shot my highest scores with it.  I have put it up and switched to a hyroad my buddy didn't like.  I love the hyroad (290 last night and 279 on Friday), but it just isn't my Gravity.

My teammate owns a pro shop and is going to work on my Gravity.  I hope he can get it back to "normal".

I remove the oil regularly on mine. You have to sand it a bit to open the pores. I just use a green scroth brite and then soak it till no more oil comes out. WHich is usually 3-10 different bucket fills depending on how long its been. Then take it back to favorite surface. Which currently is around p2000 for me.
