I purchased a quart size bottle to save a few bucks early last year. Was very thick back then. Now the stuff is a runny as my RemedyRX.

I've only used say a quarter of the bottle as I use it sparingly. I'm worried about using it now since it's so thin, hate to ruin coverstocks.

Anyone guess what may have happened or offer a quality cleaner to use after sets to remove belt marks? The Remedy just isn't cleaning them off good enoug, even with a ton of hand pressure/rubbing.

Clean N Dull was the every 10-20 games thing to go to, but getting way more stuff on the balls now.

It might be hard to see on a bowling ball, but a 1:1:1 mix of Simple Green/water/alcohol leaves a film on glass.  I had some odd spots on my windshield that wouldn't come off with glass cleaner, so I used my Simple Green mixture.  It removed the spots easily, but left a nasty film afterwards.  I'm cheap so I might continue to use it as a cleaner, but I will finish up with either straight alcohol or an actual bowling ball cleaner.

Picked up a bottle of Hook-it. Very impressed. Took off the very stubborn belt marks that the thin CnD wouldn't get.

I'll probably go back and reclean everything of my son's that I cleaned prior. Just to feel better that there isn't something left behind from the simple green combo I used.

At this point, I'm gonna consider the CnD bottle toast. I might use it to clean stuff as something in between Remedy and Hook-it, but really won't depend on it working like it should.

91% isopropyl will take off most surface dirt, belt marks, etc. and the lane oil that wiping with a towel would remove.  It won't remove oil that's down in the cover stock.  Heat is best for removing that oil, but some cleaners will get part of it.  --  JohnP

Please be sure to use gloves. That stuff is scary on bare skin.

Is that where my finger nails went and why my teeth glow phosphorescent green in the dark?
