Friend of mine ran a Lane #1 Hybrid Dirty Bomb (a Brunswick PK17/PK18 hybrid, if I remember correctly) through his dishwasher this week in advance of me doing a resurface for him. Turned the ball almost light blue and gray (the ball is a navy blue/purple mix, ordinarily).

So he brings it to me, I do a cleaning and resurface on my spinner, taking it down to 360 Abralon (we're going to start there and move up to 500 if needed -- all his equipment is similarly-drilled polished solids so we're just trying to get him a different look without having to buy a new ball). Once I took it down that far (I started at 500 Abralon, then decided to go a step further), the color phasing disappeared.

I've never had a problem using my dishwasher, so maybe his gets the water too hot?

saw that happen to a guy with a No mercy Beat'n.   Instead of Black/Dark Blue it came out BRIGHT blue and Charcoal.   looked normal after a couple weeks of use.

Thanks for the responses. He was pretty freaked out but I told him it would probably go away in time.

He bowled with the ball tonight, by the way, and loved the reaction.

My Inferno phased out with some grayish color.  Came back after a few games

It can happen whenever water is used, but should go away.
