Cleaning Yellowed Centennial Balls
I just bought a heavily discounted set of Brunswick Centennial balls because they had yellowed a great deal.
Any advice on what to use to restore the yellow billiard balls back to white?
The store owner said they tried the Aramith ball cleaner to no avail.
I messed around with the cue ball yesterday trying Lysol wipes, bleach, CLR, and a magic eraser. Lysol wipes worked best and maybe made it 20% whiter.
What would you recommend? Or what should I not use? Do certain chemicals damage the integrity of the balls?

It's not the Aramith cleaner, it's different.
It's the "Aramith Billiard Ball Restorer" (you can get it on amazon.com)
It's a "restorer" specifically formulated for phenolic resin, which is the exact material from which those Brunswick Centennial pool balls are made.
It's what I would try if I was trying to whiten a yellowed set of Brunswick Centennial billiard balls. Since you've already tried the usual DIY products, this product is your logical next step and is well worth a try I would say.
