it will cause it to hydroplane if all you do is just put the cleaner on it. its a particle ball, it has holes, when the holes fill up, the wont grip the lane. The fluids in the ball don't level off with the ball, they form a miniscus/ convexing arc over each hole in the ball. Think about it... just get as much of the oil out of the ball as possible, lightyly resurface it then add a coat or 2 of docs magic elixer.

Not done, I realize you are only 16 years old and learning about bowling balls and so forth, but I've been around a few years myself. Although there are a lot of things I don't know about bowling balls, there are a lot of things that I do know about bowling balls and knowing about ball cleaners is one of them. No ball cleaner that I know of will make a ball hydroplane, especially Liquid Nitro. I know as I have been using it on all of my balls including particle balls, for the last 15 months or so. I don't know who has put this silly idea in your head. The Doc's Elixir will make a ball skid further before it hooks and at times over-run the break point, but not Liquid Nitro. Black Magic Polish put on heavy will make a ball overrun the breakpoint and not hook at all if too heavy. I know, "been there-done that."

Neo Tac's Hook-It will deep clean the ball and get all oil, dirt, grime, etc out of the pores. The Liquid Nitro used after every bowling session will help keep these pores from filling back up and extend the live of the ball between deep cleanings with Hook It. I know as I've also used the Hook It for over 15 months and again, "been there-done that."
