OK, here's the shocking part: it left the ball surface more tacky than any cleaner I have used including Clean and Dull. If I were strong enough, I could have palmed the ball, like a basketball. As it was, I almost did it with two hand, just by the friction created by my palms placed on the side of the ball.
I asked two friends to feel the bowling ball (get your mind out of the gutter
) and they looked at me strangely, UNTIL they felt the ball's surface. They were also very surprised. Kevin Valentino did urge me to spray the towel and wipe the ball during bowling but I don't usually do that. I also wipe my hands on the towel. Maybe I'll use a 2nd towel. FYI it's legal for use during competition.
Good work, ... err, make that Great Product, again, Kevin, and thanks.

Charlest, I have done this twice now and it keeps the ball tacky and when I get done and clean the ball, I don't get much off the ball due to the fact I wiped it with a towel sprayed with Remedy before each shot, but my towel sure gets black though.
I agree with what you have said about the tackiness of the ball after cleaning it.
I haven't had any smudges to clean of my ball yet.

me personally, I was taught by Rolf Gauger to always wipe down the ball after each frame. It makes for a more consistent reaction and bowling is all about consistency. As for my hands, I only apply cleaner to one side, so the other side of the towel is free for wiping my hands. I also like to use a rosin puff.

I am ordering a triple threat package right now, forgot to do it, could have used it yesterday.
I wonder if the Remedy can remove gum from coverstocks.

It was very painful to say the least, we will see if this good or if the tackiness just picks up more dirt.
It does clean well better than legends??? Not really but it does add a lot of tackiness as I found out so we will see.
Thanks to Kevin for comping me this product when I ordered a pack of the Resurrection and Snake Oil. All are superb products with the resurrection already being a quick favorite to use for getting a sheen fast.

Remedy has a mild odor and the smell does not linger around like a few cleaners. We actually add an industrial "chemical-ly" fragrance because the product is harmful if ingested. Just follow the warnings to keep away from children. Remedy has no ammonia, carcinogens or toxic ingredients.

I stopped using the Legends cleaner on my spinner for exactly that reason. I haven't gotten my fingers jammed yet but I've lost my grip on more than my fair share of towels and rags because of that.

Remedy is a cleaner that will not change the surface of your balls one way or the other.
Snake Oil is an excellent non-abrasive polish, that will leave the underlying grit as it is, but will add a nice and easy shine to allow length that you did not have before.
If you need to change the grit level of the base on any coverstock, please do so before applying Snake Oil.
Resurrection is a surface refresher that will clean the surface (the "refresher" part), bring the coverstock's surface to 800 grit (US grade) and add a very, very light shine on top of it.

Looking forward to trying it out.
If Charlest likes it, it must be a winner.

I used some of the Snake Oil on a Nighthawk and even by hand it did a very nice job, can imagine how much better it would work with a spinner. High mirror shine and it didn't take much of it to get it done.
SO far very impressed.

I am pleased with the results and product so far, that damn ball has never been so clean and tacky.
Tomorrow I will be testing Snake Oil on a HRG needed for light to dry lanes. The underlying grit is 4000, should be interesting. If the ball doesn't budge it's a success.!!!

Used Snake oil on my Ogre pearl at 2000, came out nice and shiny. ALso did my Track Uprising at 2000, that ball is way to strong for anything under heavies without a polish I guess. Polished all 4 sides on both. I will say I tried using snake oil on a dry terry cloth, and tried using it with a wet old abralon, I found that the wet abralon worked better than the dry cloth. Will report back after throwing the rocks.
Also used the Remedy after bowling tonight. ANd this is going to be some really good stuff, got my ball tacky as they get. Awesome cleaner. Right up there with Legends so far.
Thanks Kevin for the fast and tidy delivery

I use only dull urethane balls on house shots because of my low ball speed and full roller axis rotation.
But my main problem is once the urethane ball gets some oil on it then it just loses its pop.
If I can clean the ball with RX during play I bet the ball stays strong through the whole set.
As it is now I get about 5 good frames where the ball is hitting super hard before it loses all its pop due to oil making the ball real black and slick.
Wiping with a dry cloth or shammy makes no difference with urethane because once that oil gets in those pores it wont come out just by wiping.
Only a good cleaner will get it out.
I hope RX will wipe it out and if it does look out!

First, you should of started a new thread. This one is almost 8 years old.
Second, you can use remedy Rx during league play, it's approved by USBC.
