Brillo pad and lighter fluid

It's just a solid resin ball. Any good bowling-ball specific cleaner should do nicely.
Brunswick has their own Remove-All;
Track has a great deep cleaner in Clean and Dull;
Ultimate Bowling products has an excellent one in Black Magic Rejuvenator; Legends ball cleaner is very good,
as is Neo-Tac's Liquid Nitro.

Some people to be cheap use mixtures of household cleaners. Be very cautious about that. I'm not saying don't use them; I'm simply warning you that anything can happen SOLELY because they were not designed to clean bowling balls.

How is Brunswick's Remove All?

I have tried Clean 'N Dull on my Ultimate and Absolute Infernos and for some reason it turns them white.  However, I use it to clean my Nemesis and Goliath with no problem.  Must be something with the Clean 'N Dull on Activator coverstocks.  Must really activate them.

Better than some, not as good as others. I only suggested it if you have to have a Brunswick product (Actually a K&R product). The others seem to work much better for me.

how many games are on your ultimate inferno ? what is the surface preparation on the coverstock ? you may need to extract the oil and/or resurface the ball if you've got a lot of games on it.

Right around 5 or 6 games.  The surface is 800 grit sanded dull.

I use clean n dull on all my equipment including my Intense Inferno(activator cover) and have never had a problem with it turning white. I have noticed if you use alot of pressure it will take some of the polish off of the ball even though it says it does not alter the cover. No biggie though.

your ball is brand new. make sure you clean after every time you use it. what to clean it with ? well, you can use a product made for cleaning bowling balls. you can also use a product made for cleaning something else---it's up to you. as your ball is dull---800 grit wetsanded, it will absorb oil faster than a polished ball. you should look into having the ball placed in the rejuvenator or revivor every 75 games or so to keep it's like new reaction.

Works great for me.  I use it on all of my Big B stuff (except the Black Beauty, of course.   )
