Since we are talking about cleaners lately......
« on: December 29, 2015, 12:29:36 PM »
Has anyone tried Ion Power S ball cleaner? It's a water base cleaner.

Last year at the Stadium one of the bowlers had this cleaner and he did a quick demo on it and I was somewhat impressed. But, when I asked for the price for the 8 oz., it was almost $30 if I remember. Nah too much. But, it's actually $5-$7 for 100cc, or 4 oz. according to a friend overseas.

This cleaner is made in japan and I've tried it when I was overseas last summer. It not only cleans, but makes the ball so tacky that you can palm the ball. Also, he soaks the ball in this product to decrease it.

The smell and color looks so familiar to the all purpose water base organic cleaner I have at home. Sales man licked the sprayer tube during a demo of this all purpose cleaner to prove it's safe. I wouldn't.

Anyway, has anyone here tried ion power s? I'll be going overseas in the next two months and i'll try to bring some back for some comparison.

There is an interesting youtube video of this product where they soak 1/2 of a ball in the Ion Power S for a period of time, then put the ball in an oven.  The previously soaked half of the ball doesn't bleed oil, but the untouched half bleeds all kinds of oil.

I found a website selling this stuff stateside.  Prices are still kind of high for a ball cleaner.  The 100CC (3.4oz) bottle is $15.  500CC (16.9oz) is $45  http://shop.ionpowerinfo.com/main.sc

Based on the video it seems like a good product, but the price is kind of prohibitive.

If you can palm a basketball like I can, you can palm your bowling ball after using this stuff. I don't have big hands, so it's really impressive to do this lol.

Yeah, 100cc is just under 4 oz if I'm not mistaken. And a friend gets his at 500 to 600 yen, which is around $5 ish for 100cc.

I'll look for that video...thanks
