Gritless polishes
« on: November 02, 2006, 10:07:28 AM »
Does anyone (charlest?) have a list of the gritless polishes out there, and which ones you guys like the best?  I have Ebonite's Factory Finish and Extender polishes, as well as a tiny bit of Track's Magic Shine.  I know the FF polish has grit, not sure about the other 2.  I'm just looking for a gritless to try.  I really like the Ebonite stuff, but didn't care too much for the Magic Shine.  Thanks.

Right now, as far as I know:
Brunswick's High Gloss
Track's Magic Shine
Legends Factory Finish

I've been using Brunswick and Track with equally good and satisfying results.
(FYI Magic Shine did take some adjusting to get good results. Now I like it equally well with Brunswick, which is easier to get used to. I found Magic SHine best applied with cloth or sponge that is damp.)

Legends, let's say I haven't learned to use as well as I like, yet.

Ultimate's Black Magic is supposed to be gritless, but I have not yet learned the boundary where it starts to reduce the backend and the overall hook. I have used what turned out to be too much and reduced the ball's hook by an unacceptable amount, for my use. The ball didn't look too shiny; it looked nicely polished, but the ball result, significantly reduced hook and backend, was bad, FOR ME. Thus, I stopped using it.

If other polishes are also gritless, please let me know.
