Monroe, NY
Just recently at Modern Pinball NYC our Twlight zone and Avatar Powerballs became gray to the point that you could no longer discern them from the other balls in the machines.
I have heard that cleaning them was to no avail due to the way the discoloration takes place.
At a cost of $50 dollars a piece replacing them was not too good an option.
I read that using a buffing wheel with polishing compound works but since many don't have such tools I have come up with a way anyone can restore their PowerBalls with a little effort and about $5.
Simply buy a pack of the Green colored ScotchBrite pads.
You will need at least 5 and both sides must be used.
Simply place a pad on a hard smooth surface take ball in hand and rub away the gray.
Of course you are actually polishing the surface so you are taking down the ball just a little bit.
I don't have to tell you to rotate the ball constantly with your rubbing motion.
Once the surface of the pad is worn, it doesn't take much, flip it over and use the other side.
Repeat process 5 times then wipe ball polishing residue off with some Brillianeze or Windex with Vinegar using a soft cloth and your done.
Place that nice White Power Ball back in your machine.
