Ballstar liquid cleaner

[GoldCrown]

I lent it to someone for a pool tournament they were running. It was returned with a cracked toggle switch

Never fails.... rather lose the friend. My neighbor offered to use his line trimmer... I bought my own. And power washers... a time bomb for destruction of friendships. I let someone use mine ... had to trash it when I got it back.

I have been using Brillanize for years and haven't had any issues.

Using it in a BallStar machine? Do you spray the balls or apply to the wet pad?

Not sure what brand mine is, but not a BallStar. I spray the balls.

We play at a friend's, that has a Ballstar. She uses it after every session that she plays. Her pool balls look incredible for being an old set of Centennials, but what ever is in the ballstar liquid, creates a very unnatural playing experience for the 1st 8 or ten games. You really have to be carefull with draw as it becomes so exaggerated for awhile. It's really incredible how much action you can get on the ball, with so little effort.

I had a major house fire about 18 months ago and we recently got moved back into the house and my table is now set up again. I have a Ballstar ball polisher which I have always been happy with. My polisher itself is fine but the bottle of cleaning liquid that comes with it was lost in the fire. I’ve looked at several websites for a replacement but those that carry the polishing liquid itself instead of the polisher are all out of stock. Does anyone know who may have some of the Ballstar liquid polishing fluid in stock or, if not, what the appropriate substitute for it would be? I have no idea what is actually in the stuff and am a little reluctant to just buy any liquid polisher. Thanks for any help you may have.

I use liquid turtle wax car polish.

probably has a pretty hi silicone content. that's what silic. tends to do.

Here's my journey with this machine. Anyone else notice that the gound wire is cut off from the 3 conductor cord? That's not safe!!

BallStar Optima BCM201 Ball Cleaner..............NOT ELECTRICALLY SAFE

I've had this Ballstar cleaner for 15 plus years. I pulled it out the other day and noticed the red portion of the fuse holder was missing. So I had to tear it apart to change out the old fuse holder. What I noticed was "shocking". There was not a case ground for the METAL cleaner. In fact...
