Valentino Products

There has been a great deal of discussion on this forum about the products, but I just received the sampler pack and thought I would provide a quick review.  I tried Ressurection, Snake Oil, and Remedy RX on three different balls with varying results.  All balls in question were honestly filthy before using the products.  Ressurection was used twice, once as a clean and final prep on my Ressurgance, and secondly on a Gravity Shift followed with an application of Snake Oil.  Remedy RX was used on my Rival in "lane polished" condition.  All products are easy to use and provide extremely tacky results. Frankentape is simply awesome, it is very slick, yet takes up no space in the hole.  This is great for those who like a very tight thumbhole.  I used a piece of it in each ball tested.

Ressurection provided a very nice finish on my Ressurgance very similar to box finish.  Ball rolled smoothly yet was far too strong for the lanes I was testing the products on.  

The Gravity Shift used Ressurection followed by Snake Oil.  Maybe I didn't apply the Snake Oil properly, but I was expecting a bit shinier finish.  I have used Finesse It and Secret Sauce for the last few years and am used to seeing a little shinier finish.  Overall the Snake Oil provided nice length without creating a ball that is easily thrown through the breakpoint.  It seems very similar in reaction to a ball shined with Finesse It.

Lastly, and the the real highlight, Remedy Rx.  I used this on a Rival that has about 400 games on it and was looking pretty sad.  I typically keep my equipment clean, but I have slacked off lately.  Remedy Rx cleaned every bit of junk off the ball and left an extremely tacky finish.  Threw the ball in league and shot 299 with a stone 9 first game out ending with 752 for the night.  Overall this and Frankentape are by far my favorites in the sample pack.  It is my belief all of the products will be winners with a little experience in using them.

Trizact is a plastic sandpaper used in the glass and corian industry to resurface and polish glass. Brunswick starting using Trizact in 2001 to 2004? to finish and resurface their bowling balls. The plastic pyramids cut the particles easier and more efficiently.

The white cerium oxide is the final polishing step in the trizact series. I've heard that is has a finish grit of 6000+, but I really am not sure.
