I bought the resurfacing pads and they work perfectly. They brought my ball back to almost brand new. Definitely well worth the cost. So far I have surfaced or resurfaced 6 balls with them so far, and they still look and work as good as ever. I use these with my ball spinner, and they really come out beautiful. My wife bought this ball at a garage sale. It was very very dirty, dull, and all scuffed up. I had the ball predrilled to fit her hand. I took it home and used the CTD resurfacing/ surfacing pads, and polished it with the CTD turtle wax polish.
