Question
I cleaned a ball on the pro shops' spinner between games, using renew it Neo Tech Cleaner.   Was challenged by the other teams captain and made to put the ball away.  It said on the bottle that it was legal to use during usbc sanctioned events.  Could I have kept using the ball.  I did put the ball away.  Was on a 750 pace.  

Answer
If the ball was not dulled, you should have been able to use it.  You can go to bowl.com and there is a list of approved cleaners.  On the left side of the home page there is a link for equipment specifications, I think.  Once you click on that there is a link on the next page on the right that says approved products.  Click on that and you should be able to find the list.
