Full factory grit. Nothing lost yet.
Treat each side twice on day 1.
Most grit intact. Plenty of life left.
Pre-clean first — or you’ll protect the dirt instead of the paddle.
Preserve, not restore.
Can’t bring back what’s gone, but it stops further wear.

Pre-Clean
Used paddle? Sponge and water, then let it dry fully. New paddle? A dry dust-off is enough.
Spray
Shake well, then 3–5 light mists from 6–8 inches. No need to saturate.
Protect
Spread in small circles with the dry microfiber, edge to edge. Cloth, not sponge.
Wipe
Even out any droplets before they set, then let it air-dry. Ready to play.
Your pregame routine. Do it while you stretch.
Spray and spread
Dust with the dry cloth, spray 3–5 mists, spread edge to edge, let it air-dry. One pass per side. No pre-clean, no sponge — do it while you stretch.
Cloth and a dab of water
Ball dust, court grime and paint marks lift off. No harsh chemicals, nothing abrasive, no scrubbing. Dry cloth applies, damp cloth cleans.
Four things not to do.
Leaving droplets to air dry. Smooth them in with the dry cloth before the 30-second cure, or they set as watermarks. The #1 cause of an uneven finish.
Skipping the day-1 pre-clean. Over dust or grime, SPINX bonds to the residue instead of the paddle.
Applying to a damp face. After the sponge wipe, let it air-dry fully — leftover moisture dilutes SPINX.
Reaching for cleaners or erasers. They strip the protection along with the residue. A damp cloth is enough.
Quick answers before you spray.
How long does the protection last?
Think of it like sunscreen rather than a coating — you apply before you play, not when it runs out. One application covers your playing day.
It goes by play, not by the clock. What wears the face is ball contact, so a daily player in long sessions applies more often than someone playing twice a week — and on days you don't play, there's nothing to do. Even applying every day, one 100mL bottle lasts a couple of months per paddle.
How often should I apply SPINX?
Apply once at the start of every day you play, before your first game. Between matches that same day, a wipe with a slightly damp microfiber cloth is all you need. The only exception is your very first application: apply twice on each face on Day 1.
Can I use SPINX on a used paddle?
Yes. Pre-clean it first — wipe with the wet sponge and let it air-dry — then apply. SPINX bonds to a clean surface, so starting clean gives the best result. (Brand-new paddle? Apply directly.)
Will SPINX damage my grit?
No. SPINX is weightless and non-abrasive — it protects your factory grit, it doesn't sand or alter it. Water-based and SGS-tested: formaldehyde-free, with no heavy metals or phthalates. (Erasers and alcohol are what wear the texture down.)
How is SPINX different from a regular cleaner?
Cleaners remove buildup. SPINX prevents it. A cleaner lifts today's dirt, then leaves your grit bare so tomorrow's bonds right back in. SPINX leaves a guard so buildup can't bond at all — it wipes off instead of grinding in.
