i think there was a post on this subject a couple of weeks ago but maybe another forum. anyway, in the past i used turtle car wax with carnuba but after reading a post about using some waxws and it leaving a "film" on the ball and thereby affecting the shot/english, i changed to another person's post about their using windex......simple, quick, cheaper and no film. since i have changed, i have not noticed any difference in the cleanliness or shine. stick with the windex!
have a great holiday hopefully shooting! :thumbup:

Leave it, you learn something even more valuable that which ball cleaner to use, the search feature on AZ.
Do a search on youtube... you'll find several.

I clean/polish by hand. After I play as the balls are put in the tray I hit each of them with a spritz of Brillianize or Plexus (both plastic cleaners), wipe them off with a microfiber towel, and put them in the storage tray under the footrail. I like a clean set every time I begin play and these products are the easiest since they both simply spray on. A whole set takes only 2-3 minutes to clean and put away.
Every once in a while I will use the Aramith ball cleaner/polish since this stuff is thicker (like shampoo) and has a little "grit" to it so it helps get out fine line scratches. But it is not so convenient or fast to get through a set when doing it by hand because it doesn't spray on like the other two products I use every time I play. Since it's pastier you have to sort of rub it over each ball with your finger and then wipe off. So I do this only occasionally while watching TV.
The Brillianize and Plexus work so well I hardly use the Aramith stuff anymore but it does provide a little more "restorative" power so I go to it occasionally.

I've tried almost all of the mentioned cleaners and the best is the one that is designed to clean phenolic balls by the ball manufacturer - Aramith Ball Cleaner. Does a fantastic job and leaves no residue.
