Maintenance
Finish
When supplied to the consumer, the Obut SOLEIL strie 1 pétanque boule has a natural stainless steel satin finish.
Maintenance
- Depending on whether the boule SOLEIL strie 0 is used intensively or not, the type of courts played on, the ambient humidity, etc., it may need to be cleaned after each game and at least once a month if it is not used.
- We recommend the Obut maintenance product.
- A word of advice from Obut: don't leave your boules in the boot of your car, as this is exposed to sudden changes in temperature which lead to condensation.
- These high humidity conditions will, in the long run, be detrimental to your boules by encouraging oxidation.
So remember to take your balls out of the boot of your car and store them indoors, in a dry place.
