The best everyday cleaner is still Lanemaster cleaner. SOme other good ones, in my opinion, are Neo-Tac's Liquid Nitro, Brunswick's Remove-All, and Black Magic Rejuvenator. One of these should be carried in your bag and used with a CLEAN cloth to clean the ball's surface before putting it/them back in your bag.
AFter a heavy oil tournament or after 15-25 games use of a dull ball on oil, you should clean it with Clean and Dull. It is a 3 step process best done at home. It requires a towel with C&D, a wet towel, then a dry towel to be done right.
An oil extraction is needed every 50 - 100 games depending on circumstances and your seeing any degradation in ball performance.

Acetone is illegal there buddy. Also it changes the chemistry of the resin. I would use rubbing alcohol and then maybe once a month do a hot water bath.
Clean & Dull is my favorite cleaner. It gets oil, grime, dirt, belt marks, etc. off your ball with little effort.

Actually, I've found Lanemasters/Legends cleaner to remove some marks that even Acetone wouldn't remove. Nowadays, the only time I use acetone is to remove excess insert glue from the surface.

For a dull ball used on heavy oil, Clean and Dull is THE cleaner to use. I doubt if there's any need to do an oil extraction after just 9 games, but the ball should ALWAYS, EVERYTIME be cleaned before being put back in the bag. Once it's in there, any oil laying on the surface will be absorbed, even with the Cell's special cover, designed to absorb more slowly.

What's that 3 step proces involving Clean 'n Dull? I would like to learn that for myself. Thanks

Step 2: Wipe the residue off the ball with a wet rag
Step 3: Dry the ball with a dry towel

It's supposed to be. I am still using my Track C&D. Haven't bought any Powerhouse C&D.

n00dlejester,
That's it. I usually use 3 separate Bounty paper towels; they're heavy duty. I throw all 3 away. I also use a spinner lightly for this, but it works fine by hand. Just use some firm pressure.
I have seen the Ebonite PowerHouse video on the Ebo website and they do not use the middle step. That is wrong; it is needed to help remove any potential residue.
I do not know if Ebonite/Jeff Ussery has decided to change the instructions on their new C&D bottles; I don't even know if they had the manufacturer change the formula. If they have not changed the formula, they should restore the original instructions. They are not the developing chemists in this case; so they do not know the formula. I believe they should follow the manufacturer's recommendations. As far as I know, APP is still the manufacturer of C&D.

A little acetone works well too, but not much. Just a little.
See my note near the top of this thread regarding acetone vs Lanemasters cleaner.
