adrenaline wipes
« on: December 23, 2011, 01:38:44 AM »

Just received a supply of adrenaline wipe from buddies. Watched the video on powerhouse site about them. According to video they don’t clean your ball but increase oil absorption. Sounds like if that’s the case, might have to do more cleaning and oil extraction service on ball than before. Anybody try them yet?

 Thank you.  I appreciate you recognizing my point without attacking.

Good point about the microfiber towel by Ebonite. We have preached this since 2004. Yet another tool to keep your ball up to performance standards. Bill Calhoon did many Demo's in which he showed the power of the towel.

Gonna try out the  wipes in league tomorrow.

Sounds like a bargain. $12 IN MY SHOP.  Did a few free cleanings. They said their ball hooked at least 3 to 5 boards more than before cleaning. Haven't bowled in two weeks. Will try out the wipes on my current favorite balls Monday. The Signals and Warning Sign will get  the wipe down.

 I am testing them on some customers balls right now. So far, I'm impressed. Has brought a little life back to two mission xs so far. Smell is as awful as everyone says.

Just got home from work. In my box at The Bowl was a packet of 10 wipes.
Thanks Rich. Gold Pro Shops, look for yours soon.

Put the Wipe on 6 balls tonite, My Warning Sign  was way strong.  I cleaned and didn't polish my Signals.
I always end up with 2000 and factory finish. I needed the polish I didn't have .
Will test more, but I can tell you I got  earlier hook with just the wipe.
Will check on the other 4 later.

Any idea about how many balls 1 sheet can do if I do them consecutively?  What about doing one ball and then putting the wipe back in the bag or in a separate zip-lock bag? 

Would it be good to use the wipe to open up the pores, then do a hot water bath for a deeeep clean or would that be redundant?  I ordered a pack to try, so if anyone knows, thanks for the input.  Wanna use it correctly and most efficiently. 


I know it sounds like I'm in denial, but I'm not.

I've put my FIRST wipes back in the bag 3 times now. It's still wet, because the rest in the pack (ziplock seal) are still wet. Still using the first. Not sure if this is the right thing to do, but why waste ...?
 
I wouldn't YET use them for anything but a thorough wipe every other set. Try it and see what happens.
 
I still strongly recommend using some sort of glove to apply/use them.

Tried my first wipe out on my wife's Mission and Rogue Cell. She won't throw them till Saturday, but I couldn't wait to at least try the wipe out.  Very strong odor, did them outside, used gloves.  Very simple to do, on the package it says to leave it on for 15-20 sec., then wipe of with damp towel.  Seems to make the ball feel a bit cleaner.  Our house shot is pretty oily lately, so my wife's bowling balls could use a little "steroiding".  Will report results later.

 As much as I dislike the idea of increasing oil absorption (and, thereby, accelerating oil death), I decided to try these on an underperforming Mission. They really work! Instead of buckets and 2-8-10's from my Mission laboring to make the turn, I was flush in the pocket most of the night on the same condition.
And hey, I didn't mind the smell too much. Then again, I like the smell of gasoline, so I have a tweaked perspective on this. ;-)

Funny that you should mention acetone, John P. My partner bought a bag of these last night and tried them out. They seem to work extremely well. As soon as I smelled the chemicals though, I immediately thought of acetone, in a slightly diluted form!

For the sake of clarity, these are supposed to be wet right?  Bought a pack at a local pro shop earlier this week.  Opened it last night at my son's summer league and they were bone dry.
Current bag:
DV8 Turmoil 2 Pearl
Radical Squatch hybrid
Motiv Forza GT
Hammer Black Widow Gold
DV8 Vandal
DV8 Creed Rebellion
