My teammate, on wednesday nights, has a old HPC. She used it for drier conditions, I asked her if she polished it up because it appeared to be a high gloss shine. She said, "No, I've never even cleaned it". I took it home and soaked it, the first two sessions in the hot water, the ball was so slimy with oil I almost dropped it trying to pull it out of the bucket. It took a total of 5 times before it stopped feeling slimmy.

Afterwards, I took the cover to 800 grit. It starts rolling real early now, just a nice smooth arc reaction.

That was the most oil I've ever seen come out of a ball. I've soaked quite a few of my own equipment, never once saw that much oil come out.

haha yeah. Some of the brunswick particles can really bleed off alot of oilly appearing stuff (don't want to say oil because I'm not 100% convinced that's what it actually is!).. Anyway, my teammate had a ragin inferno. About once a month he would give it to me to put in my rejuvenator. I would have to run it two cycles before the stuff stoppped coming out. It would go from a shiny, slimey surface to looking like it was 600 grit matte finish again. Ball would hook a ton over the next few weeks, until it was loaded up again... we went through that most of last season... probably rejuvenated it 7 or 8 times. Its a temporary fix for "dead" equipment.
