How to clean a ball video.
« on: November 07, 2006, 06:23:07 PM »
Hey guys whats up, I thought it would be a good idea to make and post a video on how to clean a bowling ball. The link is below and I use clean and dull. One of the things I say is a way to remove any residue you may see. I really never see any residue, I included this because someone els may. That step is totally optional.

Ok I said red not maroon, I ment red like the color of a brite shinning stop sign. If I was saying a maroon pad as you state, I would call it burgandy because maroon is the color of my corsica and the 400 grit scotchbrite pad from 3m is darker then that.



As I stated before, you may be referring to a generic pad because to my knowledge 3M does not make a red scotchbrite pad besides the maroon. Generic brand pads are inferior and if you can get them to change the surface then the same grit chart does not apply.

Also if the ball is super dirty and you use only the towel you are not alowing the cleaning to really get into the pores of the ball.



Again, this is your opinion and mine is that it works very well deep cleaning.

Scoot, you did great. The video was great. You did a great job of showing how to clean a ball. The way you were cleaning it was taught to you by Carl of whom has been successful cleaning like that for 4 years. Carl taught me and I have been successful cleaning like that for 2 years. Countless others have been successful cleaning balls that same way, so just ignore that one person that keeps disputing how you clean the ball, what you use, and etc. It works for you, it works for Carl, it works for me, it works for countless others, so that is all that matters is that .......IT WORKS!

Brick, I don't care who taught who and who passed it along, that has nothing to do with it. I have not said you all are doing it wrong. What works for you works. However, I am stating that using a grey pad on a highly polished ball will take some polish off with any pressure. This is fine if the bowler accepts the change. Now if you use the white pad with CND on a polished ball the results will not be as noticeable.

Did I mention your name??? You are the first person I have ever seen that continually creates commotion about cleaning a ball. You are happy with how you do it, so continue doing it that way and let everyone else do it their way.
Geeeez, get a life and drop it man.

This is where I assume you are referring to me.

I will continue to use my method and you should continue to use your method. I am not trying to talk you out of your method. I simply disagree that you all state it will not change the surface. Thats life bro.

I never said to use the grey pad on a polish ball, I stated in the video this is how to do it for a robo rule to be at 800 witch is oob. Also show me where I state that the white pad wont change the surface. I think it does, that is why I stated for balls like my desert heat I dont use a scotchbrite pad. I dont want to change the surface of it because I really dont remember what surface prep I did to it that lets me be able to use it on dry conditions.

You did not state that. Brick did and thats who my comment was directed to. Here is the quote from his first response to this thread.
 
quote:
A white pad on a polished ball WILL NOT dull the ball.


Scoot, it seems you are on the same page as me with with your last post. A grey pad will work perfect and not alter the surface if the said ball is already at that grit(800). Brick has stated before in the past that it will not alter the surface on ANY dull ball as long as you use light pressure. He also stated that a white pad WILL NOT dull a polished ball. This is the whole argument I have with this thread.

My only disagreement with you (scoot) is that you say using a towel will not deep clean the pores of the ball if the ball has alot of usage on it since last cleaning. My experiences for the last couple years says different.

Like I said, I'll do it my way and you all do it yours. No biggie.

And since Brick thinks I need to get a life and let it die, so be it. This will be my last reply in this thread.

Tim
