You're welcome.
I see from your post that you do use the foam pads on the ball studs. I took those of thinking that it just caused more dirt/dust to get caught between them and the cup is this not the case?
While the foam rings/pads collect dust on the outside, they definitely keep contaminants from getting inside the ball cup when they're in good shape. Think of them like an air filter and replace when they're saturated with dust.

I'm fairly certain their "plastic" parts are made of some ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) formula and a fiber (carbon? cotton?) due to the impact-resistance, weight, texture, and rigidity of the final product. The specific mixture appears to vary from part to part. I know very little about these types of composites, so I can't give you much more than this.
