altering surface on...
« on: March 28, 2006, 01:27:09 AM »
...Vapor Zone or Absolute.
Has anyone try a 1500 or 1200 grit without polish or
rough buff on these balls? What was the result in reaction
compared to the OOB finish? What to expect with this kind of
finish?
All inputs are welcome.

my absolute inferno has been used 2,000 grit wetsanded, 4,000 grit wetsanded, or 4,000 grit wetsanded with rough buff. none of these surface adjustments are as strong as the box finish( wetdanded 220 grit and rough buff ). the reaction i'm seeing as a result are more length and a hard arc-type motion.

i have mine 220 grit with 3M Rubbing Compound (1500 grit)

its magic, only burns up when the pattern is broken down, not before, like the rough buff seems to do

ive shot some pretty high games on wood lanes with it.

i cant wait to use it on synthetics.

So, maybe a 1200-1500 wet sanded grit could do the trick?

Do you think it could be a difference between 1500 wetsanded
and your method with 3M rubbing compound?
