I've seen people use them, not sure what they are made up off, assuming similar to their spray or foam. I use That Purple Stuff myself.
Do any of you use ball cleaning wipes? My PSO swears by Storm Reacta Wipes and I've seen him use them after he finishes bowling. Anyone know what these wipes are made of? Are they essentially the same as clorox wipes?

I have the wipes, but they are very expensive. One use and they're done.
I also have That Purple Stuff, but I don't use it during league play because of the high cost. And the smell lingers on forever and will make you want to barf. Don't get me wrong, this is great stuff. But even in a well ventilated area, this stuff hangs around for hours.

10 of the for 12.00 doesn't seem too bad. Video is impressive. funny thing my new Track Heat doesn't pick up oil on it. We were looking and my ball to find the track and there was no oil on the ball to find it. there was oil on other balls on the same pair of lanes....

10 for $12 = $1.20 per use. A bottle of cleaner lasts me about 3 months I bowl on average at least 3 times a week with 4 weeks to a month to make it simple 3x4x3= 36 bowling trips (in all reality I bowl more than this) 8oz bottle of remedy is $12.95 / 36 = $.35 per use same amount of bowling with wipes $1.20 x36 = $43.20 but honestly the difference is even more because that same bottle of cleaner also cleans my wife's balls and my two daughter's balls the daughter bowl twice a week the wife twice a week too. Now sometimes we all bowl together and the same wipe could clean all the balls but other times we don't so the real cost for the spray is about $.15. If I was going to pay as much as the ball wipes costs I just wouldn't bother with cleaning or surfacing at all and buy a new ball every 6 months it would be cheaper.

Just about any name brand ball cleaner is your least expensive and best bet. The wipes are a gimmick by the companies that seel them just for more profit. They're not going to do anything greater for your bowling than a regular cleaner.
