Why try something different, when you can still get Ebonite "clean and dull"??? Its the exact cleaner as to when it was with track,etc. It sounds like you already know how great it is, as do i. Im not knocking Motiv cleaner by no means, but I will say the clean and dull is hard to beat! john

I'm 3/4 way of a bottle of Motiv Clean Gel.  It's good, not exceptional and it's not bad by any means either.  I would prefer clean and dull (though it doesn't dull) personally but that is only my preference.

 

My list of Cleaners would be something like:

 

1)  Valentino Remedy

2)  Clean and Dull

3)  Neo Tac Hook It

4)  Motiv Clean Gel

5)  Ebo Powerwash

Again, preference.

Motiv Gel cleaner is in a class with Remedy in that it's approved for use DURING bowling. I also like Remedy better for that purpose.

 

Clean and Dull and Hook-It are super cleaners approved for use only outside of bowling. So they are perfect for use after bowling to get rid of those embedded oil lines, ground into the cover. Only these stronger cleaners will remove them.

 

Since Clean and Dull requires water as part of the process, Hook-It is better to use, since it just sprays on, like Remedy, and and is easily wiped off afterwards. I tend to use Clean and Dull at home on balls that show more oil use or have 2 - 3 months wear/use without having been treated.

 

 

It comes off fairly easy. To get the most dirt and oil off, you should let it sit on the ball for as long as you can (before you lose patience). I'd say at least 20 - 30 seconds. (If you're just sitting in a chair after bowling, that is a long time, but try to let it sit on the ball.) Since it's a gel, it won't roll or drip very far. Just spread over a small area, doesn't have to be thick. Then wipe it off with a CLEAN towel/cloth. Terry cloth or micro fiber has the most abrasion without scuffing the ball. So either one and the gel can do a decent job.
