I'm going to assume this is either 1000 or 1500 plus Ruff Buff or something similar; anyone know the exact way to get the job done?

Best way to get back to out of box is finish to 1000 abralon and shine with the Secret Sauce.

MONEY!!!!!!!!!!

Beans,

No disrespect to your product, but I would like to know how it was originally made at the Brunswick factory and copy that. Not "like" it, I mean identical to it -- same grit, same products, same process.

I might try the Sauce on something else as an experiment, but I'm not fooling around with this ball. I screwed up one of my favorite balls of all time (Storm Thunder) by going away from the Storm manufacturing process and I never made it right again.

jess, I would go with a 600 grit wetsand then a rough buff compound with some elbow grease to get a shine. =:^D

Interesting.....Jess

I sold about 60 Tsunami's and every single one of them was like a mirror. I have never used ruff buff but I can't imagine you can get a mirror with that compound. I am sure I am wrong.

My procedure has worked countless times in resurfacing Tsunami's to out of box finish.

Also,
I still have about (4) NIB! 15 and (1) Nib! 16 lb Tsunami...

LMK if you are interested in a NIB!!

That's the issue mine didn't arrive "like a mirror" (and it was a NIB ball). It arrived like a polished solid meaning, smooth and shiny, but not like a pearl. I don't want to take it up to a mirror-like finish because (a) most balls I've thrown with such a finish are too skid/snap for me, and (b) I don't think that's an accurate description of how the ball looks now, anyway.

I plan to try out the Sauce at some point I've got about a dozen candidates for it that I haven't been able to get to work with anything else yet. I just don't want this ball to be the guinea pig.

if you want it to 100% like a OOB.... like NIB.... get a NIB

Cause you cannot copy the OOB 100%! There will be a difference everytime... you might get as close as possible and there are some suggestions but you cannot get it OOB...

and think about it.... just around 10 games on the ball and it is not OOB anymore.

no offense but your question is kind of futile...

Get a surface finish you like and works I say and score big with it
