I started using simple green back in the days, when the rave started. I tried several mixing ratios. 25% water, 50% water, and 75% water.
I noticed, on polished coverstocks it always left a dirty type filmy substance. On sanded surfaces it left a slight flim, but rarley noticable. I used a regular towel to wipe the simple green off the ball.
However, that filmy substance always stayed on the ball, and felt like surface oil that just sits on the surface. After extended use, it seemed like the reaction of every ball I used simple green on decreased overtime, it did not kill the ball, but it wasnt performing like it was before. I basically came to the conclusion that it was pointless applying simple green.
After I reached that conclusion, I also wanted to see how not cleaning equipment would effect performance. I was expecting a serious decrease in performance, but to my suprise, performance went back to normal, and pin action increased.
I havent used any type of cleaner in a few months, and my equipment is still performing to its peak. In theory, it doesnt make much sense at all.
Oil clogs the pores of the surface, so to remove this excess oil would increase performance, right? And for a solution like simple green(degreaser), it should be very effective in removing the dirt/oil inside the coverstock.
Please, leave your ideas/comments, as this will benefit everyone here.
Im still under going this "equipment cleaning" test.
