It kinda depends on what volume you're seeing, but you can take a scotch brite or other abrasive and rough it up a little by hand if you want it to read earlier and still finish.
As was mentioned earlier, all Brunswick stuff responds well to the Revivor and resurfacing to bring back the effects of many games. Oil absorption is part of the equation while the other part is the "topography" of the surface. I have yet to see a Big B ball "die" to where I couldn't get it's reaction back. I cannot say that for all equipment made today.
