Creating the Difference That Wow Factor bowling ball cleaner, 8oz, restores tacky surface and removes oil and dirt

That Wow Factor is an 8 oz high-performance bowling ball cleaner that lifts oil, dirt and belt marks while restoring a tacky surface for consistent ball reaction.

Designed by Creating the Difference (CTD), this concentrated cleaner is stronger than That Purple Stuff and safe for polyester, urethane and reactive resin shells. It’s USBC-approved for use before and after competition, and formulated to remove stubborn contaminants that dull your ball’s traction and hook potential. Use it directly on the coverstock or apply to a towel or CTD pad for fast, repeatable cleaning between shots or sessions.

How does That Wow Factor improve ball performance during play?

By removing built-up oil and lane debris, the cleaner restores the ball’s original surface texture so it grips the lane more predictably. That renewed traction helps the ball resume its intended skid/flip or roll characteristics, giving you more controllable reaction in the oil pattern’s backend.

• Eliminates oil, dirt and tougher belt marks that reduce surface friction
• Reinstates a tacky feel for consistent hook and backend motion
• Works quickly—ideal for between-game touch-ups

Is That Wow Factor safe for all bowling ball coverstocks?

Yes — the formula is formulated to be compatible with polyester (plastic), urethane and reactive resin balls. It’s stronger than CTD’s Purple Stuff but designed for use on standard coverstocks without harming finishes when applied as directed.

• Suitable for plastic, urethane and reactive resin surfaces
• Use on a clean towel or CTD pad to protect finishes during application
• Follow USBC-approved timing: before and after competition use only

How should I apply this cleaner for best results?

Apply That Wow Factor to the ball directly or to a microfiber towel or CTD pad, then wipe the surface thoroughly until oil and marks lift. Allow the surface to dry briefly before rolling to ensure consistent reaction and avoid transferring residue to your lanes.

• Apply sparingly to a towel or pad, then wipe the entire ball
• Repeat for particularly oily or marked areas
• Let ball dry momentarily before returning to play

Will this product meet competition rules?

That Wow Factor is approved by the USBC for use immediately before and after competition, making it appropriate for league and tournament play under those conditions. It’s intended as a legal cleaning aid, not a chemical surface alteration, so always use in line with event-specific regulations.

• USBC-approved for pre- and post-competition use
• Not intended for mid-game chemical alteration of coverstock
• Check tournament rules if additional restrictions apply

Who is this for? Bowlers of every level who want a simple, effective way to remove oil, dirt and belt marks and restore predictable ball reaction will benefit from That Wow Factor. Professionals use CTD products for reliable maintenance, but recreational and league players will find the 8 oz size convenient for practice bags, travel, and quick lane-side touch-ups. If you want faster cleanup, restored traction, and a product developed specifically for modern coverstocks, That Wow Factor is a practical addition to your bowling kit.
