How long after polishing should you let balls dry after polishing with Mother's polish? I have new cloth on table and don't want to screw it up with polish from the balls coming off on it. Johnnyt

Did you use a wax or a polish?:confused:
What is the temp. and humidity?
Oh and the baromectric pressure?

Simple, hard car wax, after polish by dry tower, straight to use.

I suggest polish every three hours, if long term play.

just thought
 
This is the ticket ... honest :) mix 50/50 with water into a $1.00 spray bottle you can buy at home depot.

Don't use wax.

No wait after using this. It is inexpensive, goes a long long way, especially when cut 50/50 and leave no film at all.

I think you have a good idea. That stuff looks perfect for pool balls and i'm going to give it a try. Thanks for the link.......

You use Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish to clean your balls? :eek: :grin:

Why not just buy "Aramith Ball Cleaner" to clean and polish your pool balls? After applying the Aramith Ball Cleaner you can buff the balls with a microfiber cloth.
 
I don't have a table only a few cue balls to clean. I use Toothpaste and a soft towel. I will clean them on a off night from shooting and they have plenty of time to dry. I have used waxes in the past and don't care for it. But I am willing to learn a better way.

Now I wished the pool table venues would clean their pool Balls or replace them. In one venue I play league, Between being old and having bad light the 9 Ball is so washed out that many mistake it for the Cue ball. Hopefully that venue will drop out of the league since no one likes to play there.
 
I try to clean the table and the balls before I go to bed at night. Everything is OK the next day.

If you clean during the day you can determine the needed drying time by hitting a few balls. If the balls are not ready to use you will see collision spots on the balls. I double the time and then use.

At my house it takes about two hours for everything to dry out.

I now clean the table with a damp microfiber towel. If I am feeling picky, I use an iron to dry the cloth. works like a charm and lasts for a few days. However, if you have wax in the slate seams you cannot do this.
