Brown Dimpled Machine Balls

Anyone have any advice on how to rejuvenate machine balls back to optic yellow once they get glazed and dirty…thinking a solvent of some sort but curious if anyone has tried this?

i've found about the time they get dirty is the time the cover starts ripping off.

Try some fine grade sand paper. It won't get in the dimples but it might lighten them up.

Did you try spraying one with some sorta laundry stain remover like resolve or something see what happens? Soak and rinse?
Dont know experiment.
If the surface is porous
(Not slick) consider spray painting them? Hmmm but machine would chew through that quickly probly

Which with chunks missing turns into terrible projectiles when put into a machine

If you are even thinking of using "Solvent" on your machine balls, it's time to buy new ones....

Just sayin.

New ones

They have probably hardened too.

If you absolutely can’t get new ones, put them in a wash machine with some towels. I used to wash whole loads of tennis balls. Long story.

+1 for the washing machine. Go to a laundromat.
