Other VERY good ones:
Lanemasters cleaner
Ultimate's Rejuvenator
Neo-Tac's Liquid Nitro
Best at-home DEEP, oil removing (from upper layers of the coverstock) cleaner: Powerhouse's/Track's Clean and Dull.

lane master/lengends ball cleaner is what I use.. I think it is one of the best products out and yes it has a strong smell(fruity) to it, but I like the smell.. black magic is a good one, track clean and dull is great too.. you should really have a ball spinner to use when applying the track clean and dull product.. it likes and works better when the ball heats up a little.. have not used the valentino's remedy stuff but if charlest(informative person on BR) says its good its good..
Be cautious about using any cleaner on the spinner. While I have used C&D there, many people seemed to have burned cleaners into the ball's coverstock too much and caused some ball reaction problems. It isn't necessary to use the spinner. So I'd err on the side of caution when using any cleaner and a spinner together.

It is the best cleaner that I have found to remove grease pencil lines after a ball has been layed out/drilled.
It also does a great job of removing oil from the outer cover of a bowling ball.

Nothing like straight denatured ethyl alchohol. You can buy a gallon at Home Depot for $12. That is the active ingredient in most commercial ball cleaner.
I have been using it since reactive resin balls where introduced without any issue. The older stuff I hung on to (Pirahana/C, Cuda/C, Critcal Mass) still rolls like new.
There isn't a commercial cleaner that can hold a candle to it.
I've found that Lanemasters cleaner is still better.

Actually denatured alcohol (non-diluted) is illegal to use anytime. The reason the commercial ball cleaners can have as an ingredient is because it is mixed or diluted within their product.

Is anyone looking over your shoulder to test the legality of your cleaner? Probably not. But now you will know. Is it dishonest to knowingly break a rule, even if no one "catches" you? That is a question that each of us must answer for ourselves.
