factory finish on the smash zone was 400 wetsanded and polished. start with 180 abralon for your resurface.

The type of polish will make a difference, they're not all the same. To get as close as possible to OOB use Brunswick's High Gloss Finish ( http://www.buddiesproshop.com/product/2531/Brunswick_High_Gloss_Bowling_Ball_Polish__-_6_oz.htm )

Also results may vary depending on length of time spent polishing and how much polish you actually use, as well as pressure applied while polishing.

I either use Brunswick's High Gloss polish or Snake Oil on my B balls. IME, reaction-wise 500 abralon is the the closest underlying grit to 400 sandpaper.
