I agree that cleaning your dull bowling balls (whether particle or reactive...no matter) after every set is a must in order to prolong the life of them. For example, I have a Vendetta Particle Solid with over 350 games on it that I've cleaned after every set, and it still reacts just as much as the day I bought it.
Now here is what makes me wonder. Every pearlized reactive bowling ball that I have ever had (and currently have) I can't help but notice that after cleaning them, they don't seem to react as strong. If I let them get a little dirty (say maybe after 1 or 2 sets on them) they really hook a ton. Has anyone else noticed this? If so, why do you think this is? Now I'm not saying that you should use the ball for 100 games before cleaning it, but I am wondering if you can go a month without cleaning your pearlized reactives without shortening their reactive lives?

Track Clean N Dull for dull balls and Reaction Plus for polished ones.

Sir Bowl a Lot, I use the same cleaners as you do and I find something similar.
What I do is to clean all with the clean and dull and only use the reaction plus about 1-2 times a month, just when the the real shine is starting to look a little jaded.
I do use a spinner though so it is a little easier.
Give it a try it seems to be better for my lanes.

The reason your polished/pearled balls may be losing a little reaction is because the Reaction Plus may be acting like a polish. I'm not sure though.

Columbia, that is what Reaction Plus does for me. It seems to add polish. You can put it on a dull ball, especially with a spinner, and the ball will look like you gave it a light coat of polish. Put it on a Pearl Ball and it is like over polishing the ball.
