I ordered a trial package of the Valentino products.  Their response was amazing, I placed the order last Thursday and had it in my mailbox this Monday.  I have a Dynothane Energy that I've just never been satisfied with.  No problem getting it to the pocket, but it wouldn't carry as well as I want.  It was originally drilled Rico, but I plugged it and redrilled it 5 X 5 pin up.  It still wouldn't carry (2000 Abralon, no polish).  It didn't have many games on it, so I sanded it with 1000 grit Abralon (four directions) and then hit it with Resurrection per the instructions.  The result was a very good looking and feeling matte finish.  I wanted to use it this afternoon, Wednesday, on lanes that had not been oiled since yesterday afternoon, so I applied the Snake Oil per instructions.  Great shine resulted, and I could feel the ball pull less and less on my rag as I shined it up.  Used it today and had the best reaction I've ever seen from that ball.  I could still hit the pocket, but the carry was dramatically better than ever before.  I wish I had taken the time to throw it before using the Snake Oil, but knew I'd need the extra length today.  When we get to the fall season I'll probably take the polish off and reapply Resurrection - I think that will give a great reaction on oil.  I am well pleaased with the products, and plan to try them on a customer's ball next week.  --  JohnP

Big fan of the Snake Oil and Resurrection (and the Frankentape!).  When I ordered some Frankentape the other week, I was surprised to find they sent me a sample bottle of both Snake Oil and Resurrection.  I took my Total NV at 1000 abralon and applied a moderately light coat of Snake Oil by hand to give me a very light shine, something similar to the lane shine you get from bowling for a dozen games.  I shot 760 and 758 in back-to-back weeks in my Tuesday league with this surface (and using Frankentape around my entire thumbhole)  I had 234-258-268=760 one week and 277-258-223=758 the next.  After the first night, I ordered 4oz bottles of both the Snake Oil and Resurrection and another pack of Frankentape, and I just received it yesterday.  I also used Resurrection and a heavy application of polish on my Special Agent on a ball spinner and that thing looks like a marble.  I only got to throw that ball so far on a pattern totally inappropriate for it (too much oil, too long of a pattern), and it STILL made a strong move on the backend.  I think it might get some use, however, in the Kentucky Open this weekend.

I too have had great results with these products.  I only have used the Snake Oil after applying the Resurrection.  As anyone just given your equipment a good cleaning and gone just with Snake Oil.. If so, what were the results.
