For those who use it what make it so special, 2oz for $8.95, 4oz for $14.95, 8on $24.95. I am always looking for the best but these prices seem ridiculous. Help me understand why it is worth this much.

Because believe it or not the Secret Sauce will last along time you only use a small amount 1/4 inch with a wet rag and when done save the rag cause you can use the rag and water, apply it again . I have a 4oz bottle now over 2 years.

Sorry if don't make sense it's New Years eve.

Just like Tommy said save the rag, cause water reactivates the Secret Sauce and you use a very small amount!! It creates an incredible shine, but the ball still has the tacky feel!! Great stuff!!!

Train a child up in the way they should go and when they are old they will do some "Damn Good Bowling", be a "DV8" and not turn from it, besides bowling starts with a Big B!

But because it's so abrasive, even Beans recommended that you sand a ball no duller than 1000 grit (edited: from 2000 grit, thanks,Lane.) when using Secret Sauce. It can easily put too much shine on a ball. It's hard to put a light shine on a ball with it.

It was 1000. Anything over that and the ball will go very long. If you're bowling on the Sahara desert the extra shine will help, but it always works well with some surface underneath the sauce.
The price does seem a little inflated though. I haven't used it for a quite some time.

never tried secret sauce but sounds like it would be great to use on light/dry lane balls.

i dont like how you need to keep the sufrace underneath 1000 or less. but ive read great reviews on the product.

i guess i will keep using ebonites factory finish polish

All polishes havemicro abrasives in them. The "non-abrasive" polishes just have a lot less in them, so much so that they seem to do less to the surface. Secret Sauce seems to have much more abrasive in it than most abrasive polishes like Xtra Shine and Brunswick's Factory Finish.

Powerhouse's Factory Finish is more like Valentino's Snake Oil in that they has so relatively little abrasive that they are considered "non-abrasive".So when using them, to get more length yo need to put less surface on the ball and then re-polish them.

The thing to remember is that polish is not a coating, like paint. It's a change to the surface of the ball. It is also why you are never truly "removing" polish and why you need an abrasive to change the surface of the ball. Chemicals that truly "remove" polish from the ball are actually reacting with the resin to change the cover stock physically.They are not removing a coating. It is also why bowling with a polished ball removes the polishes by the friction between the ball's surface and the lane.

a lite polish and shine can be done with SS if you apply by hand let it haze and buff off. Then throw with the ball and you will see more length but it will not just slide through the break point as if you used it with a spinner. Great stuff!

A little goes a long way.
