Yes. I removed the factory shine with green scotchbrite pad and hand polish once with 3M rubbing compound. I can now use this ball to swing from inside (15-20 boards) and it comes back hard. It handles carrydowns. I really like this coverstock prep better than the OOB.
BTW, hows the black raspberry so far ?
