Hi all,
As the title suggests, really. I would like to know the best ways of achieving this. I had a cherry on my Salix from Tuesday that wasn't removed by a watery rag, so will have to try something else, any ideas.
For BM Balls, I read in TWC from the Don that Nail-Polish Remover is a good way of getting rid of the nasty stains? Is this true, is it just use a rang and NPR and then they will come off after a bit of elbow grease?
Thoughts welcomed and help appreciated. I do have scuff sheets on all my bats, the clear ones for some reason!

Nail Varnish or Nail Polish - are they the same thing? I really don't know, I should. How do you do it then Joe, just apply a bit and rub it in, or apply and leave etc? Thanks

Dave, does that work for you? Might try it. Specifically Lynx, or any deo? Lynx is in School ATM

- can get it tomorrow though

And they work for Cherries as well, so Lynx on a rag and rub it in, same with the other 2? Just to confirm, don't want to muck it up lol!

Head to a hardwear shop and buy a tub of acetone, it's whats in nail varnish remover that makes it good at cleaning things off.

It'll be way cheaper than buying it as NVR

yes or have you got a washing up sponge with the ruff side on it use water and the ruff side it will comeoff

spray the lynx on the bat leave for 5 seconds then rub....

beeswax just rub it onto a rag and rub

but the washing up sponge is god

Rough idea of the cost of that Kulli?

- just need to check everything, atm Lynx sounds like the best idea, as I have some available, but the Acetone could be worth a punt

You could also use white spirit.

Depends what qualtities you want it in, I've always just 'borrowed some from any labs I've worked in, but I imagine small tubs of it would cost absolute buttons, a couple of quid tops.

johan, to answer your question to kulli, its about �1.50 a bottle round here in my pharmacist for some reason

and remember to leave the lid on it evaporates really quickly
