Looking for good polish to do by hand for Storm 1500 grit polished balls.

Thoughts please

My statement was true when posted, I do understand that Valentino's products are now all USBC approved. -- JohnP

Personally I use Valentinos Snake Oil about 90% of the time. It is easy to use and very adjustable in its ability to shine the ball as much or as little as you need/want. It also lasts much longer than most polishes.

I also find it better than Secret Sauce because Snake Oil is more adjustable; I find SS to be an on again, off again type of polish, sort of all or nothing. Plus even Beans recommended that you use no finer a grit under the polish than 1000 grit. With Snake Oil, I can use any grit from 360 to 4000 grit. Plus, as with Secret Sauce, where you can just apply water to a pad used with it previously to apply more polish, I can do the same with Snake Oil.

Charlest, you use a ball spinner. Would Snake Oil be as effective if you applied it by hand? I am not totally sold on Black Magic, so I am looking for a better polish. I would apply Snake Oil by hand.

Thanks.

AS mentioned by Good Times, the spinner allows a more consistent result and a more intense polished finish. I use it by hand when I want a light polish over whatever base grit is chosen. No polish gets as deep or polish nor as high a grit by hand, as it does by spinner.

Have you forgotten, or do you just ignore that Remedy R/X is the only Valentino's product on the USBC approved list? -- JohnP

I know this is an old topic but just wanted to chime in on this comment. All of Valentinos products are USBC approved. Remedy R/X is approved at anytime where Snake Oil, UFO, and Resurrection are approved before/after competition.

I am going to back JohnP on his later reply about Valentino's polishes not being on the USBC Approved list at the time of his first above quoted statement. When I first read his statement back in Sept 2013, I thought that it was incorrect, but after looking on bowl.com for the approved list and not seeing Valentino's polishes listed, I asked someone about this and the reply was that Valentino was working with USBC to have their polishes added to the approved list so I did not comment on this topic at that time.

JohnP was quite correct at the time.

Snake Oil, Resurrection, and UFO were approved Dec 2013.

We only sent the products in for approval after we received some requests from our customers. I still hold my stance that the before and after list isn't necessary...but that's my opinion.

We are having a sale on our products for the next week or so

I've used the Sauce and Snake many times in the past with and without a spinner.

with a spinner, both are great.

Without the spinner, the snake is much better by hand vs the BS. Easier to apply and to remove.

Both Snake and UFO are the only polishes I use and only need.

(all I use are Valentino liquids)
