Charlest will probably reply with more details, but here's some info.  Clean'N'Sheen is not exactly a polish, but kind of a sanding compound that is supposed to remove sanding lines and give you about a 1000 grit finish.  Clean'N'Polish IS a polish, and purportedly gives you a 5000 finish--which I'm inclined to believe.  I get the highest shine I've ever seen from Clean'N'Polish.  I've never used a ball that had Clean'N'Sheen as it's final step of surface prep, but I have used balls with Clean'N'Polish as a final step.  I would say that you would get a LOT more length out of a ball finished with Clean'N'Polish.

Of course, if you didn't go through all the intermediate steps leading up to 5000, you would get less length after using it.  I'd say, though, that if you had similar balls with about the same dull surface and you used Clean'N'Sheen on one and Clean'N'Polish on the other, you'd still get noticeably more length out of the one with Clean'N'Polish.

da Shiv,

I've been using the HRPSP at 600 grit on a house shot with Clean & Polish, and the ball goes a bit to long. On a Sport Shot I use it at 1000 grit Abralon w/o polish. The ball works fine on the Sport Shot...I took it down to 600 grit (Green SB), and cleaned the ball thoroughly, put a coat of Clean
N Sheen on it, and will see what it does on carry-down heaven tonight. The house only strips on Monday... Our lanes are used by handicap ramp bowlers on Tuesday & Wednesday...a challenge to say the least.
