Question
Ihave just baught a Columbia 300 cherry pink ball and an wanting to know how to clean it I was told to use watered down methalated spirit but  i am not sure about that, can you help me please

Answer
Karen,
Your ball is a shiney plastic (polyester). Keeping it clean and polished will provide you like new performance and protection. Just cleaning the ball will remove the protective polish.

Powerhouse Factory Finish is the cleaner/polish your White Dot is finished with. Most cleaner/polishes can do the job. If you have a local bowling store/pro shop, they should have a couple options for you to choose from.

Your local bowling center might also be able to provide what you need, if there is no store. Look for a ball machine (they typically shine a ball) like a Lustre King, Luster Clean, etc. Check with them. Wiping the ball off at the conclusion of each outing will also help keep the ball loking good.

Thanks for the question. Have fun.
