Not sure if this is in the right bit but.....
As a captain of a sunday team i once again have received a pitiful amount of match balls to get me through the season does anyone have any tips etc on stuff to use on them or how to bring old used ones back to life- just to make it clear im not after any tips on cheating and making the balls swing ridiculously etc just how to clean up ones that have been used in previous matches.

jave used a damp cloth to get any mud or dirt off the ball a nail bruch to clean the seam   followed by a bit of mr muscle and a good buffing with a duster    usually brings my worn out balls back to life

Sweat, always works a treat. Not too much, just enough to shine the ball. I always get asked how I manage to keep the balls I use in nets so shiny, you just spend the time that you aren't running up and bowling shining the ball. There isn't really a secret magical way to keep them shined, you just do all the time. I've never tried this, but if the ball is scuffed, perhaps use a little sandpaper to smooth it, then start shining it. I haven't used anything other than sweat and saliva, and they both work a treat.

You can buy a repolishing kit from Morrant.
