Finally got to try Snake Oil!
« on: January 08, 2009, 10:15:33 AM »
Ok so i received my snake oil and remedy rx. Let me first start by saying everyone was right about Remedy Rx its a great cleaner. leaves the ball nice and tacky. Now the snake oil. Well its does not give the shiniest gloss i've seen but i dont believe it was supposed to give that mirror finish like beans. I was unable to test the ball 2night but i hoping i will still get excelent length despite not having a high gloss. I'm wondering if i might have applied it wrong.

You did it right not as glossy but enough length in most cases, love this product over any other polish.

the ball will appear to get glossier if your underlying grit is high (such as 4000 grit ab)

I get the best results by following the video that valentino has on their site. which includes (for me) using a micro fiber towel and a spray bottle of water with plenty of snake oil. for me it helps to create a slightly higher gloss which helps the ball store just a little bit more energy for the break point without having it just skate thru.

BTW it looks like it was applied properly. snake oil is almost fool proof compared to other polishes. very easy to use.

I'm thinking about trying the Remedy Rx since I've heard alot of good stuff about it. I'm currently using Power Wash (which is a good cleaner) but I wonder how the two compares?
