Snake oil wont work as a cleaner unless u maybe mash down on a ball and have a high speed ball-spinner... Resurection will chane the surface so I would say dont use either of these. The resurection is gritty so it may be better if thats all you have. I have found only two wonderful cleaners, and they are Legends and Black Magic Rejuvenator. BMR has a little better smell. Oh and not to mention Ebonite Clean and Dull... These are one of only 3 cleaners bowlers should use on their balls. Hope this helps, John

I usually use soap and water for mine, oh wait a minute, wrong subject!!!  

On a serious note, I use clean and dull, or a simple green mixture (with alcohol and water).  I have never used the Valentino's products yet, sorry.

What about Ultimate's Ultra Clean?  Or is that the same idea as the Clean and Dull?

I use the Simple Green/ISO Alcohol/water mixture as well.  Saves me a lot of money and it does a great job, imho.

Our brand new cleaner comes out on Monday, if you have subscribed to our mailing list you'll be getting an email this weekend.

So you'll have the cleaner for on the lanes
Resurrection for deep cleaning off the lanes.

No, not that I can tell. I tried their Ultra Clean and it's very, very mild. SO far it seems best at cleaning woodwork, finger prints off light switch plates. Not so good at cleaning bowling balls.

I too have heard Black Magic is good but I won't use anything but Lane Masters unless it is during USBC competition then I use Ebonites Power Wash.  I too don't mind the smell of the Lane Master's stuff but I would recommend using it in an open area as it can be somewhat intoxicating, and whatever you do don't smoke while using it.....

Personally I like Neo Tac Hook It, and I will use it until they stop making it.

I also like the toxic smell it emits.
