Does Roto-Grip have an "official" ball cleaner or polish?
« on: December 05, 2005, 12:15:01 PM »
I just drilled my RS-X and would like to maintain its longevity.  What does Roto-Grip recommend to clean and extract the oil from the coverstock?  What polish do they suggest in order to maintain the 1500 polished box finish?

RotoGrip recommends Storm cleaning and polishing products. Here is a link describing the factory suggested cleaners, polishes and procedures.

For bonus points, prior to starting Storm, what was the ball cleaner marketed by Mr. Chrisman? Winner gets a Team Internet True Grip (if I can find the box).

Storm Reacta Shine works best for my RS-X and RS-1

I love Storm's Cleaners and Polishing agents.  I think they are the best in the business.  I am hoping that they make something equivalent to track's Clean N Smooth though.

Have you been using it on a box finish RS-X?  Will Track Clean 'N Dull strip the polish off?

Why does Roto-Grip state to use Storm's Xtra Shine on a 1500 polished finish when Storm states that Xtra Shine will finish to 3500?  Wouldn't Reacta Shine be the better choice?

I don't have an RS-X, but I use it on my Apoc, Retro Roto Blue, Rush and Sonic X (in addition to all my Storm, Track and Mo stuff) and haven't had any problems stripping the polish.  Of course, most of my stuff doesn't have much in the way of polish.....Just cleans the ball VERY nicely!!

Clean and Dull is just a cleaner that keeps the current surface the same....IF I'm not mistaken.....
