You're in luck. Below is their answer to the same question you posted.
I must say they are very quick in replying.
Thanks. Lane 1



CK,
 
Thanks for checking out our website, hope you've enjoyed it. The Blueberry is roughly 1200 grit polish. We recommend taking the ball down to 400 grit, then up to 600 grit. Now, polish the ball using standard 3-M rubbing compound. This we be close to factory finish. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us again anytime by e-mail or phone 1-800-Lane No.1 (526-3661). Thank you for your interest and choosing Lane #1.
 
Sincerely,
Lane #1

Factory finish is a meduim shine, so six hundred grit and and a rubbing compound (not a higher grit polish) sounds about right. That is the finish I use on my blueberry.

However the PK18 coverstock responds amazingly well to even the slighest changes in coverstock prep. A high polish means skid flip while a rough dull grit will make it handle similar a decent load particle.
