Magic Shine: Track vs. PowerHouse
« on: November 16, 2011, 04:57:30 AM »
What are the differences in the formulas? I have some of the PowerHouse, but have an opportunity to get a bottle of the Track version for really cheap. I want to know the differences (if there are any) in what it's going to do to my balls.

Good question. I am a huge fan of the Track clean and tacky. Love that stuff.

If I may add to the original question.  
 
Is there a difference between the Power House Magic Shine and the Power House Factory Finish Polish? 
 
Do either contain abrasives?

Major differences.
 Personally I hated Magic Shine. It always seemed to dry too fast and was very hard to get off, no matter how quickly I got to it. Never tried the new one, marketed by Powerhouse.
 
Powerhouse Factory Finish is a great polish, as far as I am concerned. I am 95-99% sure it has no abrasives in it.  I have started using it relatively regularly, in addition to using Snake Oil. They are probably my favorite non-abrasive polishes right now. Ebonite and their family of brands uses it over almost any grit level from P1000 to P4000 grit.

By what do you mean "dries too fast?" I have used a compound that dried, but worked much better with water. Is Track's formula gritless like the Powerhouse one?

you put some on a cloth to rub the ball and before it stops spinning, it's dried solid. Having done this for a few years now, I know I did not spin it for very long. Most polishes, once they have dried, come off with rubbing with a terry cloth towel, either by hand or by spinning. This did not It required strenuous rubbing with a lot of muscle to even begin to remove it. Never have I ever had this much trouble removing polish.

 I had that same issue with the Track Magic Shine a few years ago, you could put a little dab of polish on it and it still would dry up quickly and pretty difficult to buff off. But the Powerhouse Factory Finish polish and Ultimate Black Magic Polish are my current favorites to use; no mess, easy to polish, and even by hand you don't have to put alot of elbow grease to polish the balls.

Thanks for the clarification. That was exactly like some polish I got a few years back. I found a good deal and jumped on it. A mess doesn't bother me too much. I can handle some clean up for the price I pay in the long run.
