Pro shops swears by acetone to clean a ball.

I think I will spend more time cleaning at at alley before I leave like Bill suggests. Gives me a reason to have a beer a chill out for a minute. I always wipe the ball before each shot but I do wait a day or so to give them more attention. I am also going to take them to a good shop by my work to get them sanded/polished back to specs. The Modern Marvel is really dull and needs it. I don't trust my league alley not to put acetone on the balls if I took them to him.

Yeah definitel, and I would also recommend using a micro fiber towel to wipe off the ball during bowling and to clean it after. Micro Fiber will soak up everything like the oil where normal towels kind of just spread it around.
