Clean N' Sheen by hand
« on: August 30, 2006, 02:56:23 AM »
I put some Magic Shine on my Heat Blast to give it some more length. Since I just picked up a Solution PP EX, I want to take the Blast back to box condition (compound). I have Clean N'Sheen, but no spinner. What is the best way to do this by hand?

I use a blue (1000 grit) scotch brite spongepad you can get at Wal-Mart etc., wet it down, put the Clean N Sheen on the rough side and do half the ball at a time with moderate to light pressure. It's about as close as you'll get to OOB by hand. Hope this helps you!

Thanks for the reply. What is the original grit of the Heat Blast under the compound?

Buck,

I believe it is near 1500.

So if thats the case (close to 1500), wouldn't the white pad be better?

Since you will be applying the scotchbrite by hand, you will not likely get enough pressure to get the actual grit of the pad.  The blue one should get you close.

Hey buck,

A use white pad is close to 1500. Use on 1/4 of the ball first then the next 1/4 till you cover the whole ball. Next use a wet paper towl or towl to wipe of the dust of the ball. Final set is to use clean and sheen.

Check this out it really help!!!! Thanks Rev-o

Hey Buck,

I've never had any success with altering a cover so that is why I tend to stray away from it as much as possible. I always have this theory in mind...the ball company made the ball the surface they released it at for a reason. Now this is advantageous to some players and a disadvantage to others. For me, it is better to just leave the cover alone. Only time I touch it is with Power Wash to clean it. Although I do have to admit the one and only time and it is because I felt like I was out of options. I asked Carl how to restore my Robo Rule and he said to use a gray scotchbrite and Clean 'N' Tacky and lightly rub the scotch brite to the surface. Allow the CnT to sit for a few seconds then take a wet paper towel and wipe the excess dirt and oil off and then dry it off with a dry paper towel. This method worked wonderfully and I had that hook with the Robo Rule I first had when I purchased it. It had alot of oil in the cover most definitely! Hope this helps! God Bless You and have a great week!
