I've always been a fan of the the 50/50 simple green and isopropyl alcohol mix. Although be aware that while each are USBC certified for use individually, the mix is not.
I then hit really stubborn belt marks and refresh the ball every few games on my spinner with Neo Tac Renew It. Love that stuff!
RobLV1, I think the question was more on the type of Isopropyl alcohol (Such as 70%, 91%, 99%).Originally Posted by RobLV1
As for the question I either use straight 91%, the 50/50 blend with Green Clean, or after a long block I may use Clean 'n Dull.
Currently in the arsenal: Roto Grip Hyper Cell (@2000), Hammer Gauntlet Fury (@1000 polished), Roto Grip Idol (@2000), Storm IQ Tour Emerald (@1500 polished), Storm Phaze 4 (@1500 polished), Hammer Cherry Vibe (@1500 polished), Hammer Black Widow Urethane (@1000), Jet Blackbird
50/50 blend of Simple Green and Iso Alcohol here. Works great for me. So much cheaper than pro shop cleaners. Can get a gallon of Simple Green for less than $10. Mix a 32 oz spray bottle with simple green and alcohol and that will last you quite awhile. Rinse and repeat.

I've been using the Simple Green and Alcohol mixture for a couple of years now after reading vdubtx recommending it. Works as well as the more expensive cleaners, in my opinion and at a far cheaper cost.

The Simple Green/Alcohol mix (a 50/50 mix), I apply is with a sponge, then use a clean dry cotton half towel to remove the oil and rubber marks. Very soft sponge. I have my own ball spinner and it works great getting the oil/marks out. Good discount getting it from Sam's/Costco on both items!
