Just wondering if those with a Ballstar or similar machine charge to run a set through or just do it as part of your normal recovering service?

I've always just through it in as an extra free of charge, but it's more in the line of making a sale by showing how well the Diamond ball polisher works.

many bars or clubs depending where you are have such dirty balls that I think its fair to charge as pads need to be changed etc. If its a regular customer that I'm doing a job for its free. Must keep your eye on the pads to make sure they don't wreck the balls. Its a service and you should be paid for it, how much is up to you.

Never heard of the pads wrecking balls but never used anything but a home made one. 5 gallon bucket and car buffer did OK job.

With what the machines cost that's the amount I was thinking of, figure Bar owners will be the ones that will say no the most.

with bars I do it for free. its their customers I want to please not them. if I'm popular with the pool players, I'm popular with the bar owners. And having clean balls makes a huge difference in how the work looks and plays.

That's a great point, thanks.
 
cleaning old dirty balls, ones with lots of nicotine etc can build up on the pads and then transfer to the next set. Pads wear out and show a dif color when worn to let you know to replace. I have a BAllSTAR and like it, flebay $100

That's why I designed the Diamond commercial ball polisher with two platters. The first platter is used to clean the balls, then no matter how much build up of wax and dirt there is, after you pre-clean 8 balls, you switch them 8 balls to the shining platter then place 8 more balls in the cleaning platter so they start cleaning while at the same time you're shining 8 balls, thus 16 balls at the same time, it's just that they're in different stages.
