How to clean up a bat after season?
« on: December 19, 2011, 09:23:35 PM »

So I got twi of my team mates Newbery's and he gave me for oiling etc so I was wondering how can I clean them up and make them look better than before without taking scuff sheet and stickers off?

What should I do? I don't have power sander or buffer (whatever you call it :( )

Thanks in advance!

go from 120 through to 2000 if wanted.

I've been using anywhere from 7 to 10 grades :)
