cleaning a bowling ball

[Stormed1]

In the past i've also used alchohol and 409 in a 50/50 mix. ( use it in the shop for a quick clean when checking layouts etc)

Another question on the subject.

I've been using Kegel Revive Ball Cleaner after each set. And while its fine for cleaning lane oil out, it does not seem to do to well at talking off the belt marks. I have a pearlized highly polished ball so that may make it worse, but it seems the only way get rid of the belt marks is straight rubbing alcohol, liberally applied, and a lot of elbow grease. Any suggestions on a cleaner to get rid of the belt marks? Also, I'm not damaging the coverstock by using straight isopropyl (70%) rubbing alcohol am I?

First off, do you own a ball spinner? It's much easier to get belt marks off if you're using a spinner. I'm possibly going to sound like a Valentino's shill here, but I've found in my own experience that if I am maintaining w/RemedyRx, then if I get belt marks I can go to Resurrection and have them come off very easily.

Are you damaging your coverstocks by using straight isopropyl? Not if you don't do it that often -- it's not like you're soaking your ball in it. (right?)
