Depends on too many variables:
- where it is now,
- what you polish it with,
- how much you polish it,
- what type of oil pattern are you using it on, etc.

- how much you polish it, just a good amount, not a heavy coating for sure
- what type of oil pattern are you using it on, etc. in my profile.

I hit my "green" Machine with a green pad and then polished it with reacta-shine by hand.  Ball isn't as squirty now, handles a bit more oil, and is a tad smoother.  I like it alot better now than I did when it was OOB.

Give it a try and see what happens, just don't go nuts with the polish.
