Legends cleaner is the best.

I also like the Legends cleaner, but good God, does that stuff stink.

For me (can't speak for anyone else), I find it good to very good and falls into the 2nd tier of cleaners with Neo-Tac's Liquid Nitro and Brunswick's Remove-All and Track's Power Wash. Legend's cleaner when carefully used is a long step ahead of every other everyday clener that I have yet tried.

In fact I find it better than acetone by itself, when used to clean bowling balls.

Charlest is correct and I agree with him on the Legends Cleaner being the best. I rate the cleaners mentioned in the following order from best to least best. Legends, Black Magic Rejuvinator, Neo Tac Liquid Nitro, and then a tie between Power Wash and Brunswick's Remove-All bringing up the rear of this group.

Illegal to use "ANYTIME" on a bowling ball.

That doesn't make it right!! Or within the rules...

Realistically, no one will know what you clean your ball with outside of the alleys. Unfortunately, I've seen (in a competitive mens league) a guy who routinely cleaned his ball with Acetone several times DURING bowling. THAT only happened one night!!!

I told my a friend of mine the price of the B.M.Rejuv $25.00 and he asked if it's like GOLD!...LOL

But isn't that the quart price? and tell him how long it will last.
(Check the label: it's also approved by the Federal Aviation Administration, for whatever that's worth. Don't know where else it is used.)

I didn't know that.  Buddies has it for $27.50, but i can't remember if that's shipped.

Where's JLS?  Lanemasters is selling directly to the bowler!!!

shelley....I just called (their 40 mins away from me) them and they prefer customers to go through "your local proshop".  "Only when you can't find one, we will look for one (proshop).  If we can't find one for you, we'll find a way to get the product to you"


Some places don't like to do orders for the end user, some will do it for the right people.  Probably not surprising that they want you to hit up your local shop.  I wish I could get a bottle for $26 shipped, I don't know what the shop here would charge.  Most of the normal sized bottles of various cleaners are in the $8 range.
