Neo-Tac recently introduced a terrific new ball cleaning product called 'Khameleon Particle Sand High Tech Ball Restorer'. For all those who have complained that Hook-It cleans but leaves a sticky residue, and/or that Renew-It cleans but also polishes, there are no more excuses.
'Khameleon Particle Sand High Tech Ball Restorer' is a pure cleaner that does nothing but industrial strength cleaning. It doesn't polish, it doesn't attempt to increase tac, it just flat out cleans.
At first I was concerned that the product is a form of liquid sandpaper -- meaning that the cover would be altered with product use. So as an experiment, I refreshed the cover of my X-Factor Deuce on the spinner using an 800 grit grey scotch-brite pad. This leaves very fine sanding lines on the cover. I then threw a few games on fresh oil to actually have something to clean. Then using a paper towel by hand, I cleaned the ball with Neo-Tac Restorer. It felt like using a very mild version of Neo-Tac Liquid Sandpaper. There was no question the Restorer was doing a complete clean -- I could feel it as I rubbed the compound into cover, and the paper towel was definitely picking up a lot of junk. And I was pleased that the 800 grit sanding lines were still intact after I was done, meaning that Restorer did not alter the cover.
As a final test, I cleaned the ball on my spinner (high speed setting) using Liquid Nitro. I made sure I was generating intense heat to pick up anything that might have been left behind by Restorer. To my delight, the towel was clean.
The bottom line is that Restorer seems to be a winner. And it should appeal to cheap bowlers who don't want to buy a spinner to use cleaning products. Just Restorer and a paper towel are all that's necessary.
No go forth; there isn't an excuse not to use neo-tac products anymore.
