    Or is it just the fact they are rolling a clean ball down the lane each time they use it? That would be true with any cleaner if they cleaned their ball after every shot.

    No, it's not getting on the lane, it just gets the surface so clean that it's like a fresh surface. That much fresh surface eats up the oil that much faster.

    Actually, it's not. I've seen it used in a scratch league, and I'm being totally serious. I've also seen it used to intentionally mess up someone else's shot.

    Seems like approving it for use, and use during play was not a wise decision, given those results.
