In the last three months I have bought a Thing and Thing Returns and am very happy with both of these balls, my concern is over the cleaning of them.I have seen a couple of posts on this but the answers were varied,as I am the only bowler in the two centres I bowl in with D/T equipment no-one here can help (I am in the UK).I don't want to do anything to spoil the performance of them.
Thanks,Alan

Thanks for your replies,yes I know the subject was brought up before but there seemed various answers,now that I have it from the people in the know as it were I can do the job right,the fact is that bowling balls here in the UK are not cheap,i.e.for the Thing and T/R the cost was $350 each drilled out the door this is the usual cost for high end balls so I can't afford to screw one up by not looking after them right.I will add though that D/T has another convert these balls are great,even if none of my fellow bowlers have them (yet as I do sing thier praises as it were)anyway thanks again,Alan.

since the owner of the company answered. I'm assuming Dave has had first hand experience with this unique coverstocks.
I know Buzzheads have the best ball(in there opinion) so I was curious as why a know Buzz fanatic would take the time and punch up a Dyno-thane and clean it.

I use windex or foamm glass cleaner for my polished balls, and i use 409, or fantastik for my sanded equipment and they perform time and time again with no loss of reaction.
Windex NO! 409 is fine........
Windex and glass cleaner have NO degreasing/cleaning capabilities, 409 however, does and works well.......

Jeff: Thanks for pointing out the shortcomings of Windex/Glass cleaners. However, no matter how many times you point out that Windex is not a degreaser, someone will still insist that it's the magic cleaner of choice.

Now all I have to do is either fly out to the states to get some or find the equivelent type of cleaner over here
,I'd prefer the first option but for now I'll have to settle for the second.

Hi John,
Thanks for the reply,I suspect it's one of your balls I've got,I bought it from Nigel at Rhondda Bowl in Wales when I was there for the National Team Trials last month.
