Shammy Pad Cleaning Instructions
The Storm Shammy Pad needs cleaning after some use
The proper procedure will make the pad last longer
Remember the Shammy Pad is made of leather
1. Wet the pad with warm water.
2. Use a soft bristle brush and gently rub the pad using a
mild dish soap to exfoliate the surface of the pad.
3. Rinse the pad with warm water to remove the soap.
4. Ring the pad out and let it air dry before putting it
back in your bag.

I think the Shammy pads do a good job between shots. I don't feel the need for TPS between shots. I should clarify that I believe the Shammy pads work better than a normal bowling towel. I personally hate the DV8 microfiber towels they include with their balls, they only seem to spread the oil around on the surface.
I do recommend using TPS at least once a week depending on how much you bowl and how many games. I determine if I need to clean the balls more based on how their cover stocks feel and look, or if the ball isn't reacting like it should.
Just ordered some of The Purple Stuff. Combo pack for $22. Misread it as (2) 40 ounce bottles. In actuality it is 4 ounce bottle
Oh well, will try it out as a general cleaner, not an "after every roll" cleaner.
A friend and I liked what TPS did for us. Really kept the ball clean. Only down side as I said before was the smell. So we decided to buy a gallon of it on Ebay. Was listed for $120, but had an option to give a bid. Didn't think it would be accepted i did $105.00 and was accepted. Doing the math of a gallon = 128 ounces and with each bottle being 4 ounces, this gives us 32 4 ounce bottles with a price of $3.28 a bottle compared to $12.99. I will mainly use it after each bowling session. Perhaps after each game. But in any case I figure I will be set with cleaner for a long time.

I received my order of TPS. Yes, it does clean well and brings back the tackiness. But like others have said the smell is overwhelming. Not sure if I want to keep the rag I use to clean in my ball bag as it is very strong
So I went to my alley and one of the guys behind the counter heard of TPS but never used it so I broug some in for him. Another guy there who is a very good bowler was there as well. I mentioned how the creator said to use it after every shot and the non worker said you are not allowed to do that. This went on for about 10 minutes calming stating our points how you can use it or you can't. I showed him the bottle and how it says for anytime use and then pulled out a bottle of Storm's reacts scuff which says for before or after use only. My argue ent was why would there be to labels hat says two different things. He wouldn't have any of it. So I called the USBC and they said you can use it anytime in USBC play. The look on the guys face was great, shocked. lol, it was great.
