Whenever I use Resurrection by hand, I always follow it up immediately with a quick application of Remedy with a microfiber towel -- this gets any remaining grit, etc. off the surface very well.  I'll apply Snake Oil after this, and then wipe over the ball with the towel that has Remedy on it just to get a little extra tackiness over the top of the polish!  It gives me the most consistent, predictable results.

I wipe all equipment after each frame and before they get bagged to go home, it take 10 minutes to get ready to bowl because of knee brace and such. And 10 minutes to wipe down every ball before bagging them for the night, including pulling them back out of the bag and wiping them off.

Guess that is why I have never had a dead ball yet, even had a Nighthawk menace with easily 800 games on it and it hooked well. That cover was rumored to be the same as the Chao's cover, I have always been anal about wiping off a ball after each frame.
