I must say neo tac hook it is a very impressive cleaner. Imo probably the best.

 
I haven't tried LMB, but it's hard to imagine a more effective cleaner than Hook-It.
 
Like charlest, I have concerns about the chemical makeup of Hook-It. I've used it for serval years, but I have concerns about the formulation on my hands. I'm using just Vise cleaner and Remedy now because they feel safer. I'll live with the fact they might be a little less effective than Hook-It. They're certainly good enough.

If you like Remedy,  you should try the Foam version next time you order. It's amazing how it just sits in place. Somehow it makes good stuff even better because the watery spray version like all of them runs off so quickly. The foam seems to make it work better. I don't believe it costs more money.

I agree totally!  PPE when I use Hook-It or C&D plus I have cautioned others to do the same.  Being a clubmaker/fitter I have been around acetone for years and years PPE is  must! 

Using Remedy RX for a number of years next time will be using their foam version and/or LMB. 

FYI PPE = Personal Protective Equipment.

Everybody has their own favorites, I just ordered more of That Purple Stuff. One bottle of the foam and one of the regular bottle.

"Yes Sir!  I assume too much sometimes that folks will know work place abbreviations.  ie. MSDS sheets on products which BTW I would like to see on ALL ball cleaners.  (MSDS=Material Safety Data Sheet)"

You can request a MSDS from the manufacturer and, by law, they have to provide it.  In my previous career as a technical manager at a pulp and paper mill we were required to maintain books of MSDS's for access by employees.  It contained hundreds of sheets, from as innocuous as White Out to as dangerous as chlorine.  --  JohnP

anyone ever use Hook it gel?

Never heard of the "Gel" version. I went to the Neotac website, and did a general search online, and couldn't find any reference to Gel. Please provide a link.

I seen this come up once before, There were two different versions of Hook-it at one time The Hook-it Liquid and a Hook-it Gel.

The Hook-it gel (which could be found on ebay at one time and is old/new product)  was a old formulation (cinnamon smell), The Hook-it Liquid was the more popular one.

I bought 2 quarts of gel and 10 bottles of liquid off of ebay a couple years ago. the gel is a red color and has that Hook-it scent. The liquid is yellow. The liquid is not very effective, but that gel removes belt marks instantly. The only downside with the gel is that it tends to stay in any engraving on the ball. That's where the toothbrush and simple green come into play.
