Five trials were conducted on the supplied painted balls. During the evaluations, one of the current cleaning chemicals was used as a bench mark. Testing included immersing the balls in a cleaning product and cleaned using ultrasonic energy. Time and temperature were modified in an attempt to find optimum conditions for products that showed signs of removing the paint. Testing was conducted using 30 minutes of cleaning and 130-150 F.
