I agree Azguy, I use 40% purple power (or knock off brand--no difference) 10% alcohol (to help it dry up a little quicker) and 50% water.
This works well for me, seams to get off a little MORE crud than ebonite ball cleaner. Also, a good de-oiling in a warm spot seems to help from time to time.
GOSTORM-- Check out Doc's Elixer it seems to help with cleanup while at the lanes, once you put it on it kind of repels oil. In my experience it only adds a minute amout of length, nothing to be concerned with. You can find it here:
