Well I have not shined any yet with it but Mr. Buzzsaw shined his up and he told me it is about 6-8 boards stronger than a XXXL after it is shined. The polish works well on Urethane. After all, that is what it was invented to shine way back in 92-93.

Considering trying the sauce on my Liberator. The OOB finish is definetly not for light oil... Aw heck. I may just go ahead and pick up an XXXL Stardust.

I don't have any sauce but after the first few games, IMO polish is gonna be a must for me. The ball is allot stronger then I thought it would be..

This ball is much harder to shine than a normal resin or urethane ball. If you're looking for a high gloss, I would take the ball up in grit first. This will get the roughness out. After bringing it up to 2000 or 4000 grit, then hit it with a rough buff rubbing compound. Then polish it with the Secret Sauce for a high gloss finish. =:^D

Thanks T-GOD. I was thinking of just hitting it with 3M Rubbing Compound (Perfect-It II) first, but I'll try 2000 grit abralon before that.

I like the ball in OOB -- I've thrown a lot of urethane over the years and the Liberator is by far is the hardest hitting of any of them. I'm curious to see what different looks I get with polish. Thanks again.

I took mine down to 4000, and it still didn't polish well. I may have to purchase some sauce if I need more length.

Werd I did the same and it doesn't seem like it shined up very well...
