Title: Vise Ball Cleaner
Post by: relentless1 on December 27, 2015, 03:38:34 PM: Does this product work well as a cleaner? I've seen it available for awhile but haven't seen any comments or recent reviews about it. I also saw that they have a compound cleaner and wonder if that's similar to like Motiv Power Gel Scuff?

(I have not tried any of their other cleaners.)

Thanks! I'll buy a bottle this week and maybe even pick up the compound or polish cleaner. I already have a bottle of Remedy RX and always willing to try something different. I've been checking out That Purple Stuff and that's another one I want to try and compare it to Black Magic Rejuvenator (my go-to cleaner for solids).

I second charlest's thoughts. I just finished off my second bottle of the Vise cleaner, and it's as good as any water-based cleaner I've used.

I use Remedy for cleaning up covers during all of my refinishing activities between grits. Buying Remedy in bulk is very cost effective, and it's just plain effective as cleaner. I use the Vise cleaner at the alley to clean up the covers after play. The stuff is really good.

:) Neither I nor Steven said that. So, not sure with whom you are agreeing. :)

Sorry, but I don't like Black Magic Rejuvenator. Its smell tells me there's something nasty, possibly toxic in there that I don't want to touch with my bare hands. I tried some, still have the bottle but won't use it. Now that you reminded me, I need to put it into the Hazardous Waste recycling.
