Storm Sport Series plastic ball.
« on: March 10, 2005, 09:57:01 PM »
I've just gotten a soccer ball from my friend. The ball looks yellowish now, any idea how could I remove the yellowish thingy, and set it back to white?

Thanks!

I have no experience with any of my equipment being resurfaced by a Haus machine, but maybe if you had the soccer ball resurfaced, the yellow tinge might disappear.  Just a guess.

I had the same problem with my Baseball. One of the guys at the bowling center got a litlle lane stripper, diluted it, and my driller put it on the spinner and cleaned it with the stripper combo. Looked like new when he was done.

I doubt you can remove it yourself.

My teamate took his Basketball to the proshop resufaced, came back as good as new.

I have a baseball, I'll do the same soon.

You might try the stuff they sell at the automotive supply to clean the plastic windows on covertibles.This is a wipe on/wipe off product so you should be able to do it yourself without a spinner.If you want to spin it cover the ball with a fine film of cleaner and throw in the ball polisher at the the lanes.It may just clean and shine it all in one.

Sorry Kid I thought he was looking for home remedies.Figured a $30-$40 resurface was more than he wanted to go on a freebie spare ball.

Resurfacing shldn't be a problem for me, jus that if the yellowish thingy is just a patch of oil, maybe i could use some detergent to remove it. anyway, if i use a chemical detergent to remove the oil, will it somehow spoil my soccer ball ? LOLs.
