I got mine from buddies www.buddiesproshop.com , they were one of the only places i found with it.

If you need anything else you might as well buy it, cuz teh shipping charges suck.  I figure buy more = save on shipping.  

G-luck.

Hey guys, one more Question...Why do Storm, Columbia, Track, etc. polishes work on all balls except Brunswick. Is it something about the activator cover stock or what?

Do U know for a fact that "they" work on ALL balls except Brunswick?

Here's what i actually do..
I try, if our local shop has remembered to get it, only to use Brunswick stuff on Brunswick balls, Track stuff on Track balls, Storm, Columbia....... U know what i mean? But i've recently used Storm products on my Brunswicks as the shop was out of B-stuff.. And it worked out just fine..

And it was on my 2+years old original Inferno.. Good as new..

All my balls with Activator or A+ on em, no problems at all..

i generally substitute black magic in the finishing process and really see little difference in performance. i find that storms xtra shine is a little straighter through the front and the same in the back in this application.
 

Oh no.....lol....I re-did my ball last night and used the Storm Xtra Shine that I hardley ever use. I have Black Magic, but never use it as it used to make my original X-Factor slide thru the break point and not hook hardley at all so I never used it again. From what you say here, it looks like I should have tried the Black Magic???

SKC I know that from using the same polishes on other balls such as Storm, Ebonite, etc. On those other balls, I use mostly Storm Step 2 and Columbia 2000 Grit Polish and once in a while for drier lanes, a tiny bit of Storm Xtra Shine and they work on those balls. However when I apply the same polishes to the Impluse Zone, it plays dead....you know, like this...

Brick,

We've talked about this before.Yes, they all work, but you have not know what you have and how to use them.

You know you have a tendency to press TOO HARD and too long.

ALso, BlackMagic and Brunswick's High gloss do not change the underlying "grit" because they have no particles in their polish to change the surface. Xtra-Shine and most others have fine particle akin to the particles that are attached to sandpaper. This changes the underlying surface by an amount (uncalculable) proportional to the amount of polish you use, the degree with which you press, and the amount of time on the spinner. The amount of shine has to go into your personal memory banks; so you can remember for next time. There is no magic formula.
