Ebonite Powerhouse Energizer Cleaner
Ebonite Powerhouse Foaming Cleaner
Ebonite Powerhouse Matte
Ebonite Powerhouse Power Wash

Well out of the ones you listed the Energizer Cleaner is good.  I haven't really used the Foaming cleaner but the idea behind it seems good.  Personally tho, I love Legends/Lanemasters Cleaner, it smells strong but it the best I've found.

What is "Ebonite Powerhouse Matte"?

There was a Matte finish, but it's been discontinued and it was not a cleaner. It was a liquid abrassive to change a ball's surface to P1200 grit.

Legends or Remedy for sure.  Legends if you can stand the smell and don't plan on cleaning during competition.  Remedy's just as good but without the smell and legal during competition instead of just before/after.

Yes imo it is, plus it can be used during competition.

Currently, my favorite is Clean 'N Dull. I use the Energizer Cleaner on balls that have polish on them. But I am going to order some Remedy RX next week.

I like the foaming Ebonite cleaner.  I use it and Zapp-it products.  Zapp-it gets most of the normal shop cleaning duties.

I use the foaming cleaner from Ebo.  Works perfectly fine for me.

I like Remedy RX and Lane Masters. They are both top of the line. I use the Lane masters when I am on the lanes and I use Remedy at home when I am doing any surface adjustments or just cleaning any smudges. This way the wife wont nag about the smell.
