How you clean really dirty Balls?????

[SGTLARSEN]

So I got these Balls off of Ebay, Because I didnt want to spend alot of money, So I get them and they are so filthy, tried arameth Ball cleaner.. no luck, I think they were used in a smokers billiard hall and never cleaned. So I ended up buying a new set of Centennial Pool Balls. I wanted do do something with the old Balls so I used my Polishing wheel to clean them. They Look pretty good. They have a little streaking. I KNOW YOU PROBABLLY SHOULDNT USE A POLISHING WHEEL BECAUSE THEY MIGHT BECOME UN-ROUND(un round lol, dont know the right word). Just passing on some info... I want to use these as decoration, or maybe for the kids to play with... what do you do with your old balls?

Just wanted to say if anyone trys this becareful not to burn the resign? Look at the 9 ball. ANd I dont think this would work on clay balls.. If I had some I would try it.

Most places that sell supplie sell Cream Ball Cleaner, and a old T-shit, and the Cleaner will do the job.

old pool balls

Drill a hole in your favorite ball and mount it on your gear shifter/gear selector...

Tap and drill a 5/8" bolt into them and they go great on the back end of a pickup in the hitch:grin:

Phenolic that is used in Pool Balls ages with time, and the balls will normally take on that smokey color like those in your photo's. I am certain ly not an expert but I think like you did buying a new set was a good choice. You can always use the old ones to make a clock for your pool room!!!!
