What cleaner are you using for your balls 😂

[trob]

I know I’m going to roasted but I promise I searched!!! I can’t find it. I know on a thread people were saying what they are using in there ball cleaner but I can’t remember what it was. I’ve been using a car spray wax for years. is there a better spray cleaner I could be using?

I don't have a machine and use the Aramith ball cleaner. It only takes 10-15 minutes and they are clean.

I also use the Aramith ball cleaner and do it by hand.

Car spray wax/detail spray contain silicone. It's not a good idea to use silicone on pool balls as it will have a big impact on how they play.

Same here. After several years of bringing them to different pool halls that machine cleaned them, I switched to doing it by hand with Aramith cleaner and see much better results.

Currently the Aramith ball cleaner by hand. Does a really good job of getting marks off the CB.

I find a dab on the ball and work it around with the fingers and you can feel the grime.

Can you draw balls better if the balls are cleaned with silicone-containing wax?
Jasmin Ouschan found that it does at 11 minutes 40 seconds:

For those who have cleaned balls with silicone-containing wax, how has this affected the table felt?

It's not a good idea to use silicone on pool balls as it will have a big impact on how they play.

What impact does silicone-containing wax have on playing pool and on the table felt?

Lost knowledge from over a hundred years ago…..English billiard players would not play a tournament with balls that had not been played with for at least three weeks……new balls lead to inconsistent reactions as they break in. I used the ball cleaner a lot in the 80s with NO polish.

Don't use wax on them. It makes the balls play inconsistently as the wax wears off. The will throw less and bank longer. Draw will be greatly affected, as Jasmin mentions. It's fun and it's pretty, but it's not standard conditions.

I use Aramith cleaner. I rinse and dry the balls after rubbing the cleaner off to make sure there is no residue.

Brunswick Centennials harder to clean?

I’m getting ready to get new cloth for my table, so I figured it would be a good time clean my Centennial balls. They are about 12 years old and looked pretty crummy. I generally wipe them down every week and take them to local pool halls to get cleaned in their machines. Over time they appeared...

Does cleaning pool balls with clothes detergent & 3-M Scotchbright green-side sponge damage the balls?

I followed Pappy Mike's YouTube instructions to clean pool balls with clothes detergent and the green side of a 3-M Scotchbright sponge. I polished them with a cloth towel but they are dull looking. Most comments to Pappy's YouTube website, I now found, condemn Pappy's method. How do I get...
