well i use acetone for most things, mostly removing logos off pads haha. God im sad thinking about it haha.

and well acetone is the cheapest and most effective ive found :) also found with being a teenager and having some spare that spot removal wipes work well :L (for the bat i mean) if you have any :) just chucking a few ideas into the mix.

Fair enough, just tried Detergent (Some rubbish Tesco version of Jiff) and Soap Pad as Dave suggested, and it worked a treat. Very happy :)
But still can think about other stuff as that wasn't 100% effective. Acetone sounds good. Might have to do that if I have quite a few BM Ball Stains after 4 sets on Friday :)

You could just leave it as it wont affect your game in the slightest...

It does worry me the amount of people on this forum who have nail varnish remover though!

Brillo pad, steel wool, wire brush, course sand paper? Lol!
Seriously, I'm also thinking that you should leave it until the end of the season, then send it for a refurb?

My Ayrtek hasn't been cleaned for about 6 months, if I was a bowler I'd say because it hasn't been used, but truthfully I'm trying my own Tendulkar bat ;)

Ball marks near the middle count as double

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Nothing a spot of PVA glue and gaffer tape won't sort out mate

I hope I am not clogging your topic Johan but I had a question that when you take off a scuff sheet the glue is left behind (residue) so how do you remove that? In past I would oil it and then scrap it with knife (lol)

Thanks
