Brasso for cleaning and polishing balls?

Why? Are you not sold on the purpose made products? AFAIK, Brasso contains silica. My bet is the balls will be too slick, affecting playability.
IMO, the best solution to clean balls is a mixture of 2-4 tablespoons Aramith Ball Cleaner mixed with 8 ounces 91% Isopropyl Alcohol. This will leave the balls shiny but not slick. Slick pool balls will slide off the rail and will not throw properly.

Brasso is for brass
What in the world would ever cause you to even ask such a question?
Why would you want to use any kind of cleaner/polish designed for brass/other metals on pool balls?

The same reason he made a bucket polisher with the buffer on top.
Maybe a warm soak in Woolite? Air dry...
WTF????????? Why would you ever do that????????? That's for cleaning sinks and shit.
A Bar we shoot in, one of the Bartenders cleaned the balls in the sink with Comet and a Scothbrite Pad. It didn't work out to well. I took them and after several runs through the Diamond Cleaner with Aramith Restorer and Aramith Cleaner, they looked good. No idea how much wear that inflicted. Brian.
wth would woolite clean a pool ball?????
No. Never.
No abrasion, no shrinkage, I forgot rinse before hanging to dry...
I just put mine in the parts washer and then hit them with the sand blaster.
