What's the home made ball cleaner that's used???
« on: March 14, 2004, 06:35:44 PM »
I've seen a mix on here before with alcohol, amonia, water,  and simple green, anyone know about this mix and if it works? and how much of each???

not sure about the ammonia, haven't used simple green or 409 . . .

my home made formula consists of castrol de-greaser and alcohol mixed more or less 50/50 . . . i got the de-greaser at wal mart for around $6 i think.  leaves the ball semi tacky, and cleans very well.

Two parts lane cleaner, two parts simple green, one part water.  

I've had a 30 oz. spray bottle for almost three years and it's worked flawlessly.
