Hey guys,
I'm a definite newbie when it comes to this stuff. But my ulti-max has been scuffed up a bit, and I want to bring it back to its glorious new condition. On the product information sheet, Brunswick seems to suggest sanding it to 220 and then applying rough buff. However, wouldn't I have to hit it with the 500, and then the 1500, and then the rough buff to get it to it's OOB condition? Also, if I'm doing this by hand, how long would you suggest I sand it per side.
Thank you for all of your help

Better yet, take it to a shop that has a Haus machine. Same machine used in the factories to sand and polish balls. Most of the better shops have them now.
How many games on it? Bowling balls don't stay new forever. Chips and dings in non-track areas should not be a concern.
Don't believe in the Uzi, it just went off in my hand. I, I believe in love.

There are about 40-50 games on it. I can pretty easily take it to a pro shop, as I have done with all of my equipment over the years, but I guess I would just like to have the knowledge on how to do it by hand in case I decide to do it. Better to have options, right :)

If you do it by hand, wet sand with 220 Siaair (or Abralon), and then finish it with Rough Buff. The link is here:
Most of the rougher grits, go about 30-45 seconds per side, minimum of 4 sides. Rough Buff (similar to Storm Step 2) is typically a minimum of 6-8 sides using a damp cloth when you apply that stuff.
However, if you have it done in the Haus machine, it's basically a wash by the time you get the sanding pads and buy the Rough Buff compound. Also, it may be a good time to have an oil extraction done if you go to the shop. You'd be surprised at how much oil some of the newer covers can soak up.

The Ulti-Max web page says 500 grit Siaair (Abralon works too), NOT 220 Grit. Big Difference.
And you cannot do it by hand. You won't get the same results. You need a spinner to do this.

+1 Here!
I'd try 500, 1000, then polish. The factory finish gave me a little too much skid, but if you're seeing plenty of dry then try 500, 1500, then polish.
