Need a little help PLEASE!!!!
« on: October 11, 2004, 09:35:11 AM »
I need a little help.I have a storm ace,and like all of my balls I wipe the oil off after every shot I throw.Here's my problem. I want to keep the ball clean,as new as possible.I usually polish all of my equipment or I'll use rubbing alcohol on them.Obviously when I use the polish it goes longer,and when I use the alcohol is grabs more.I want to be able to clean my ace without changing what the ball is doing now.I have about 12 games on it now,and I'd usually clean it by now.Does anyone know what to use to keep it looking and acting new without changing the surface at all? I never worried about this before,but I am getting such a great ball read right now that I don't want to compromise it by using polish or rubbing alcohol.Thanks for the help!!!

you should get the storm cleaners. mega bite(particle cleaner) and reacta clean(reactive cleaner). then their are the cleaner and polisher combo: moon shine(particle) and reacta shine. i have all four and they do wonders. this is just one opinion, you will get more.

Try Doc's Magic Elixir, it is an excellent product for what you want to do.

Snowman,

I agree with using Storm Moon Shine or Mega Bite on your Ace.  I would caution you though that those two products will give you SIGNIFICANTLY different reactions.

It's been my experience that for pearl balls Mega Bite will give you an earlier ball reaction than the factory finish if you use it regularly.  Not necessarily a bad thing if that's what you want, but it sounds like that's really not your goal.

If you want to keep the ball with it's original reaction use a little bit of Moon Shine on a regular basis and REALLY wipe it down well.  It is a polish / cleaner and when used correctly it will keep your pearl particle ball the closest to OOTB as possible.

If you want a product that will keep it at the 1000 grit sheen I suggest Track's "Clean and Sheen". Grey scotch bright should keep it at that surface also. I would use "Clean and Sheen" after every session and a grey scotch bright every 4 sessions or so. Regardless the surface will change over time without proper maintenance, dull balls get shinier and polished balls get duller.
Micro Fiber towels are avilable at Walmart package of 4 for like $3 make sure you get the ones that are polyester/polyamide blend not the 100% polyester ones.
