Ball Cleaner
« on: April 14, 2007, 04:13:29 PM »
Which Ebonite product is better for deep cleaning:

EBONITE POWERHOUSE  BALL CLEANER:

Approved for use during USBC competition
Deep cleans and removes lane oil, dirt and rubber marks
Retains ball surface needed for making consistent shots
Safe to use on all bowling balls

OR

EBONITE POWERHOUSE ENERGIZER BALL CLEANER:

Approved for use during USBC competition
Revives natural tack to ball surface for ultimate lane-gripping power
Biodegradable, citrus-based, strong degreasing formula
Removes lane oil, dirt, belt marks, even tape residue
Fast drying
For use on all Reactive Resin and particle technology coverstocks


I thought the Energizer was the deep cleaner, but going by the descriptions, the "regular" ball cleaner is the deep cleaner.

Are the descriptions correct?

Neither really.

Track's Clean & Dull or Clean & Tacky are THE ONLY true deep cleaners, and that's only "relatively" deep; that is, just below the surface.

I'm getting some Clean n Dull (Clean n Tacky), maybe both.  I just thought that I had read somewhere that Ebonite had a similar product.

I have a 5 oz of Energizer, but it just says to spray on and wipe off.  From what I read, with the "similar" product they recommend that you spray it on and let it set for a while (maybe 30 seconds?) to allow it to soak in and break down the oil. ???

Has anybody tried Ultimate Black Magic Rejuvenator?  It claims "It's new chemical formula absorbs, emulsifies and floats away stubborn lane oils and dirt."

I know CnD (CnT) are "the best," just wondering about some of the other cleaners.


I clean my stuff at the lanes, wipe off between shots, etc.  I've just never done a deep cleaning - seeing as how I use 3 or 4 balls per set, I probably don't need to deep clean!

Clean N Dull vs Powerhouse Energizer? IMHO that's comparing apples and oranges. Powerwash vs Energizer would have been more interesting to me.

Over the last few months, I've tried both Ebonite spray cleaners and Rejuvenator and I prefer the Rejuvenator. That plus Clean n Dull works well for me.

I bought four bottles of Track Clean and Dull.And I use less than a dime size squirt on a towel wipe on let it soak a little bit then wipe off using the ball spinner.This stuff works for me and run your finger across with no residue nor oil.
I hate ten pins but love the game of bowling with just the right ball to take them out.
