How to Polish a Roto Grip Bowling Ball

Roto Grip bowling balls come with unique designs and are available for any skill level. It is important to keep your Roto Grip bowling ball clean and polished so you can maximize your game.

Instructions

    • 1

      Place tape over the finger holes of your ball. You do not want to get anything in the holes.

    • 2

      Apply the bowling ball wash to your wash cloth and rub over your bowling ball using a circular motion.

    • 3

      Rinse the cleaner from your wash cloth and wipe down your bowling ball. Allow it to air dry.

    • 4

      Set your towel into your bowl with the ends of the towel hanging off the sides. This is so the bowl does not scratch the ball.

    • 5

      Apply the bowling ball polish directly to the bowling ball. Use about a quarter size amount. Start with one squirt and add more if needed.

    • 6

      Rub the polish in with your fingertips using a circular motion. Make sure to polish the entire ball.

    • 7

      Buff the polish off with your second towel. Use quick circular motions for best results. If the towel is too big to buff properly, use a small wash cloth.

    • 8

      Rub the polishing pad over the ball. Use a soft gentle motion. Go over the ball once, then wrap in the towel and allow to set overnight.
