Greg T - If you use the Elixir, belt and pin marks come off much easier.  Often times just rubbing with your finger.

Leftside: Nice try, but the alcohol crowd will continue to disinfect away and have the most germ free equipment on the planet. They're accomplishing little more than smearing grease and grime around, but it feels good, so why not? Maybe the stuff also makes a great dip for munching chips during those holiday football games.

When I read stuff like this:

I scratch my head and come to the realization that kornholio is not so bad. At least he's amusing.

Leftside,

Please say Isopropanol, isopropyl alcohl or household alcohol instead of "alcohol".

While it may not dissolve grease and oil, I have heard that isopropanol helps remove the dissolved grease/oil when used in combination with degreasers. NO, I am not taking Steven's side; if isopropanol is not worthless, at least, unlike a lot of other crap people use, it is harmless.

I have found another alcohol, denatured ethyl alcohol, to dissolve or clean away a lot of things on my ball, when used in combo with othe rcleaners, including disintegrating belt marks which can be very hard to remove.

Well, one of my freinds gave me the degreaser 409 to try. SO i did after i got done bowling with it. A few days later i go bowling again, and the ball went almost straight. The lanes werent even that oily. It did that for about 20/30 games before i noticed that it seemed to start hooking again. Its weird.

Guys - There are so many good cleaners on the market that it would be tough to produce and keep economical.  

I will be adding something new to my website for all the aches and pains and sore muscles though. And you can usually only get it from doctors.

I've used non-acetone fingernail polish for years.  Stuff pulls dirt/oil out like velcro.
