Homemade ballcleaner from U-tube: Anyone tried it?

I'll bet 300 or more members here made the $40 ball cleaner...including me. It's at least 2 years old and still ticking. I use it an average of twice a week. Only problem is it's loud. I probably could make it less loud if I cared. Johnnyt

I use the homemade ball polisher with a carpet ball segregator that prevents the balls from touching one another. It works great, especially considering that I spent all of 45 bucks and just an hour and a half or so to assemble it.

As far as cleaning solution goes, I use Novus 1, a specialty plastics cleaner (note: only use Novus 1, as 2 and three have varying degrees of grit intended to polish out grooves and imperfections in the plastic). I have used Aramith ball cleaner and have looked at Brillianize as well (which I'm sure works as well as Novus). My buddy said that Leonard Bloodworth told him to use Novus and I saw his results with it and used the same ever since. Super shine with absolutely no residue. Here you go:

I'm with you Johnny. I went to Home Depot and bought all the parts I needed and put it together in about an hour. Mine is still working also and it is loud, but it's OK since it doesn't need to run very long. It cleans the balls very well.
