Simple green and tap water?  Thats a good ball cleaner? I have always questioned what is safe to clean balls with and that was one that was on my mind?  Any other homemade recipies that anyone would care to share?

My buddy with front 8: "Me too!"
Me: "Yeah, but yours both have arrows on them, and an arrow in between!"

Dollar store special,  LA Toatally Awesome.  The pint is condensed, the quart size is not.   Works great.  $1.09 each.

I always used 409 and Windex.  Polish with 3M and Mothers.  My father used Turtle wax back in the day.

1 part simple green
1 part alcohol (the rubbing kind)
1 part water

Evaporates fast. Does a good job of cleaning. Cheap!

I just stick with my bottle of Hook-it lol.

bought it from the pro shop after my Gravity Shift was getting alot of " rubber marks " on it, from either the pins, the deck or from the ball return.  Even the pro-shop owner hasnt seen anything like this lol.  none of my other balls get this, except the Gravity Shift.  

Most of the time, I dont use ball cleaner, but this is the one exception.

I don't use ball cleaner at all.  I just extract the oil out of the cover using the hot water bath method.  Ball cleaner is a waste of money!

Some things are worth the money, some are not. I use Remedy Rx by Valentinos and it is the best that I have found and doesnt take allot to clean a ball and I have tried most household cleaners as well, simple green, etc. I also use the hot water bath not every time I bowl.
