Clean'N Dull is green and sold under the Ebonite Powerhouse label.
The purple stuff was called Clean'N Tacky.

Some of us have been using a mixture of Simple Green, rubbing alcohol, and water for years with great results. Cleans very well and costs very little per use.

Do you even know what a "Brillo Pad" is?
 
Do you know a joke when you read/hear one?

MoRich RipR: 45x4.5x40, P3, P2500

Had some strange reactions with Clean N Dull and a few covers.  I cleaned a couple of balls and they started going dead knuckle straight.  I saw this years ago with Activator bases and Clean N Dull too.  A little birdie turned me on to Tac Up, made by a small company in North Carolina, really like that stuff.

I use a little known product named Strike-Mor Ball Cleaner that I found at Galka's Pro Shop in Dyer, Indiana.  This stuff really works.

I really like the Powerhouse Adrenaline...

 

I have used it for 3 weeks now and love it.


Obviously you were not listening to your ball...
