So I strongly suspect these "new" DV8 Labeled cleaners are either Brunswick's or Neo-Tac's relabeled. If they are Neo-Tac's, they should be excellent.

This might not be new news... but Bowler's Paradise shows the Brunswick "Neo-tac" products as discontinued and Buddies doesn't have any Neo-tac products listed.

The Neo-tac site is also under construction.

I see Control-It on the Bowlers Paradise web site and it syas nothing about "discontined".

I do see only Brunswick's and Neo-Tac's own Control-It and none of the other NT products. Maybe Brunswick and Neo-Tac are just reorganizing to better market the product list??

Post by: mrteach3 on July 23, 2013, 09:32:13 PM: The one thing I can add to this discussion is that we received a large postcard in the mail that came from Neo-Tac and not Brunswick. Something tells me the Neo-Tac name is back again. From what I read in the other post, it does make sense that Brunswick only had rights for so many years. Interesting. Wish I had more to add.
