ball spinner
« on: October 01, 2008, 04:58:31 AM »
Is it possible to polish your ball without a ball spinner?   I have bought polisher in the past and no shine without the use of a spinner.

thanks

Depends strongly on the polish you're using.  I would not try to use the Legends polish by hand, it takes a lot of work just using a spinner.  I've heard, though, that Valentino's Snake Oil and Bean's Secret Sauce are pretty easy to do by hand.

I've had decent success getting a shine with Ebonite Factory Finish by hand, but I hear that it's much easier to do with Secret Sauce and Snake Oil (as the previous poster mentioned).

I don't see why you couldn't apply the polish by hand and buff it using a car wax buffer.  --  JohnP

Snake Oil by hand is pretty effective. I am sure a spinner does a much better job, but it is easy to apply by hand and results are good so far.
