Does ufo contain a slip agent in the polish?  I picked up a black Fri special, but realized that ufo wasn't the standard polish (would have rather had the snake oil)...

If so, any one interested in swapping s.o. for ufo?

Yes, it does, but it's different from Control-It and Delayed Reaction. It's an organic slip agent, not silicone and can be removed very easily with a sanding with a 4000 grit pad. The other two need a much more vigorous and rough sanding to remove it. In fact, I believe UFO needs to be refreshed after about 25 games.

Snake Oil is their regular polish. Great Stuff, by hand or by spinner.

Charlest, i know you've used both so what kind of comparison can u give between control it and ufo performance on the lanes?? I use control it a lot on my stuff cause everywhere hooks so much around here just wondering what you think?

In performance they are very similar, but not identical. I get a little more length with UFO. Not a lot more, but more.
In application and removal, UFO is easier to go on and to remove. A 4000 grit pad can remove it. Control-It needs two applications and a waiting period to insure proper adhesion.
In permanence, Control-It (and Delayed Reaction) are more permanent. UFO lasts around 20 - 30 games (Most normal polishes have to be renewed in a similar time frame.)

Since Control-It uses silicone or similar substance to block the "pores" of the surface to prevent oil absorption, removal requires a relatively rough sanding (500 - 1000 grit) to remove the layer of resin whose "pores" are blocked.
