Okay, here's the video of my tests with That Purple Stuff.


Synopsis:
"That Purple Stuff" is a good cleaner, But you can use it up fast and it's pricey.

Cleaning after every shot does appear to give the ball a more consistent reaction, But it doesn't matter what cleaner you use. Cleaning after every shot lets any cleaner work more effectively.

As for leaving ten pins you still can leave them, But cleaning after every shot does seem to help reduce how many you leave.


Note about the 10 pin leaves:
That's just my opinion!! I cleaned my my ball every frame, I left fewer ten pins than I had been when I didn't.

I didn't do some long scientific study, I just tried what Ron H. said about cleaning after every shot. I did a comparison of cleaners like a ordinary person might try to do, Then just gave my opinion.

Using purple stuff now, the only I notice is that it reeks...

Not trying to down play, I'll "put up" with the smell to see if it actually makes a difference... Like using the whole bottle over the rest of the season or so.

Not impressed thus far, really smells

That was a good review video that you did. I'm on board with billdozer about the smell, it's very strong and takes a while to get the smell off your hands. I've had That Purple Stuff for almost a month now and had enough time to experiment with it and compare it to my other cleaners, Motiv Power Gel Clean, Remedy RX and Ultimate Rejuvenator.

As far as tackiness, That Purple Stuff definitely makes the ball tackier than the other cleaners, even more than Remedy RX to my surprise.

Getting the oil, dirt and other stuff removed? It seems to get the job done just well as the other cleaners. But just like in the video I noticed a little more dirt and oil on my towel using That Purple Stuff. The oil line was still on the ball with all cleaners so I think Clean n Dull or Power Gel Scuff would be more suitable for that.

I will say this, the 4oz bottle of That Purple Stuff will not last long, especially if you bowl more than twice a week and cleaning it after every shot or even every game. To me, I feel like it's a bit overkill to clean after every single shot. The only time I clean my ball after every 1 game is with my Forza Redline because that ball gets a lot of dirt and belt marks on it that can be very visible on it. I'm already got 60% of the bottle used up and I only bowl twice a week and typically only use it on my Forza solid after I'm done bowling for the night.

That Purple Stuff is a good cleaner and Aloarjr810's review is definitely spot on about what it does and the negatives about it. I wouldn't mind trying the foam bottle to see that will last longer, but not at this time until the price goes down. If they lower the price of it and come out with an 8oz foam bottle, then maybe.

Really you just need a empty foaming bottle, the applicator is what makes the foam and you can find empty bottles online.

Here's one source for foaming dispensers:
