Billiard ball bucket cleaner

[trob]

What polisher or cleaner are you using with your ball cleaner? I’ve been using turtle sprey wax for years but am now rethinking that. I was thinking about getting the aramith ball cleaner and I guess you put a little on each ball?

only one to use is mequiars final inspection #34 cleans but doesnt leave wax but does make them slicker a tiny bit like most want.
only a tiny spray in the bucket on the sides of the carpet .
you can also use pledge in the spray bottle not can but not as good and slicker.

none of the billiard companies make their own stuff just re brand or reformulate some other stuff.

I bought the Aramith ball cleaner off Amazon. A little dab on the ball and I use a micro fiber cloth to clean then another micro fiber to get any residue off. It doesn't take long and they come out shiny

Aramith cleaner mixed with 91% alcohol in a spray bottle. Shake the bottle and mist the balls a couple pumps while spinning. I forget the mixture but it's been posted on here. I think it was a tablespoon to a cup of alcohol. It works well and doesn't gum up the carpet or pads.

I use 2 tablespoons ABC. Here's a video I made of using this mixture in my polisher.

Related question, if you want / need to use the Aramith Restorer, do you use that by hand to avoid cross contamination?
Or are the amounts so small that it’s negligible?

Just about all automotive quick detail products contain silicone. You do not want silicone on the balls.

While Meguiar's #34 doesn't contain silicone, I'd be wary of how slick it leaves the balls. What you are trying to achieve during cleaning are balls that feel fresh out of the box; shiny but not slick. Slick is not good when it comes to pool balls.

I would, or wash the pads from your machine after you run it with the Restorer.
