Buck, I just wet the abralon pad, apply a little CND and go over 1/2 the ball. Make sure the pad isn't too wet or you'll get a soapy lather, let it stay on there for about a minute take a wet paper towel and wipe off the CND and go over that with a microfiber towel to dry. The grit of the abralon helps open up the pores of the coverstock and pulls out more dirt. Neo-Tac's Hook It also works well and helps dilute it a little so it doesn't damage your grips or slug. If the ball seems to be a little too smooth/ slippery to your liking and changes your ball reaction, just spray it with Windex or any of the basic ball cleaners (Energizer, Power Wash, Reacta Clean, etc.) to add a little more tackiness to the surface. I do this before each league night if I have the time and just every Saturday morning if I don't. Never had a ball die on me using this method and that includes a Total NV and Black Widow.
