Clear but dull ball
« on: December 29, 2014, 05:17:39 PM »
Can I wet sand my bowling ball. It's clear but getting a yellow tint. didnt know if I could use a super fine grit to take down some of the deeper scratches and get the clear shine back?

If you mean it's one of the clear plastic balls, you can resurface it like any other ball. Start with 180 to take out all the nicks and cut spots and then go through every grit to 4000 and then polish.

But that's probably not going to get rid of the yellow tint.

The yellow tint is oil.
