Please--If you want to polish your particle, the smart money's on the proshop doing it- many of the Lustre Kings use wax which get into the pores of the ball, thus turning that particle into a dry lane ball.
Also, the proshop will use polish made for particles.

Stanski,

If you want to use the lustre king, ask the house what polishin compound they are using in it. Some of the older ones still use wax, others have been rebuilt to use compounds.

Regardless, your best money is on bringing it to a pro shop. With a particle you will usually want to bring the surface of the ball down to at least 600-800 before you begin moving to higher grits & finally polishing.

Yep, I've seen some bowlers kill a good particle ball by throwing them into the Lustre Kleen (one using wax).  It's a quick fix for an overhooking ball, but the ball may not perform when you get back on a lane that has any oil on it.
