Regarding the post that I may post on and copied below, some comments there are relevant

I forget the exact ratio, it has been discussed on here a lot, but take 90+% IPA and you put X tablespoons of Aramith ball cleaner in it.
Worked in the same pool hall for 20 years. We always used rubbing alcohol in the ball polisher.

. I use a mix of 2 tablespoons of aramith cleaner to 1 cup of isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle and spritz each ball as the cycle starts

Aramith is the leading cleaner, made and recommended by the company that makes most of the quality ball sets. Said to contain minimal wax. Other cleaners, such as automotive polishes, generally contain mainly wax and silicon - you get a short lived, slippery high polish, not the best for consistent, normally playing balls or for the cloth on your table. Clean Gleem was the first to recommend a 1 tablespoon mixture Aramith shaken up with 1 cup alcohol in a spray bottle. Mist the mixture over your balls in a running machine for a very easy, economical cleaning leaving a like new gleam and consistent, normally playing balls.

Dr. Dave did a video where he cleaned the balls with different cleaners, then he showed how the throw changed depending on what cleaner he used:
After that video, I stopped using isopropyl alcohol to clean my ballset (they get too clean which creates more throw), and I started using Aramith Ball Cleaner.

I quickly learned to only polish once, and dilute the Aramith polish about 20% with alcohol, then only use about 2 drops per 8 balls per cycle. I polish the balls I use at home about every two weeks, they look like new, play like new, have no wax build up, and have no collision marks now.
Others on here use a much more diluted solution of Aramith, but spray it on and have good results, so are probably ending up with the same amount of solution on the balls.
