Hmmmm! I was somewhat surprised at the company's response. It just didn't sound right for some reason. I like to clean my ball after every league outing. I have Track "Reaction Plus" that I use on my Track Threat, but I don't want to use it on the Tsunami, if inappropriate. Lane#1 didn't recommend using the Track cleaner.

ive "heard" it causes the cover to get dry and brittle.
i use Track Clean N' Dull, gets the belt marks and oil out of the ball.
i got 3 balls cleaned up after league in 10 minutes, even after massive melt marring.
i wish i had a ball spinner, the results would be even better.

I put a few drops on a napkin and wipe off the dirt.

We recommend cleaning your ball after each league with a strong degreasing cleaner to remove oil and dirt from the ball's surface and to reduce the amount of oil absorbed into the ball. Alcohol and glass cleaners are not effective at breaking down lane oil.
I've found Track Clean 'N Dull to be very effective. If you have stubborn belt/track marks or otherwise want the deepest hand cleaning possible, NeoTac's Khameleon Particle Sand High Tech Ball Restorer is the answer.
I've never understood the desire to use Alcohol, other than it being cheap. Save the Alcohol for disinfecting cuts. Use a real degreaser on your bowling equipment.

My Tsunami picks up alot more dirt than my other Lane#1 balls. I clean it after every use with Track Clean N Dull. Works great and does not alter the surface. Gets that tacky feeling on the surface back. Track also has a product called Clean N Tacky. This also works great. You can order both from Buddiesproshop.com
Any Clean & Dull available is limited to stock on hand as it has been discontinued and replaced by Clean & Tacky.

I have used both iso and Clean & Dull. Both seem to work fine for getting the ball to look nice again. I cannot notice a difference in reaction or tackiness between the two. If I cannot get a better result from the Track cleaner, I will discontinue it's use after I use it up. Iso is MUCH cheaper!

If isopropyl alcohol is truly cleaning your ball, it is not dirty and you're not bowling on ANY oil at all. C & D will CLEAN your ball; isopropyl alcohol will move the oil around but will never remove it.

Charlest is absolutely correct here.
