I need some help!!!!!
« on: May 25, 2004, 03:17:34 AM »
I recently used Ebonites Factory Polish on my Cherry Bomb, I had cleaned it with the hot water and Dawn solution, then wanted to get looking like new again, so I hand polished it with the Factory Polish.  Last night I threw it for the first time, and it barely moved.  Out of agrevation, I took a scotch brite pad, applied some cleaner, and litely sanded it.  After that it did hook more, but started hooking at my feet.  If I applied a lite coat of the factory polish, will that allow the ball to get down the lane before making it's move to the pocket, and will it hook again like it should?  What am I going to have to do to get the ball as close to new again as I can?

Also, I have red Predator that I also sanded with a scotch brite pad after I cleaned it, and it too hooks at my feet when I threw it.  If I applied some of the Factory Polish, will it give the ball some length, and still hook?

I would really appreciate any help available as I really want my equipment to react the way it's supposed to.

King of The Mill, I have three questions:

1. What kind (Brand ) of coumpound?
2. What grit does it finish the ball to?
3. Do they sand the Emerald, Golden Nugget, and Uranium to 800 and then buff with coumpound also? And if not, what grit polish do they use on these balls?

This has puzzled me for quite awhile and any help from you will be greatly appreciated.

What products am I going to need to pick up in order to do this properly.  At the present time I don't have a spinner, so I  have to do everything by hand.  I have liquid nitro cleaner, strom's partica cleaner, and just ordered Track's Clean 'N' Dull, and some Powerhouse Energizer Cleaner.  Also, all I have is the maroon scotch brite pads. What do I going to need to get/

Brunswick Factory Polish---What Grit is this supposed to be. I understand it is a high gloss polish, but what grit? Is Storm Xtra Shine (3500 grit I believe) the same thing or is it a higher grit than the Brunswick polish?
