Take it to a pro shop that has a Haus refinishing machine or equivalent and tell them the final surface you want. It will probably cost $30 - $40. -- JohnP

to get the most mileage out of a modern bowling ball try the following:
1) wipe your ball off after every shot.
2) clean the ball after every use.
3) have the absorbed lane oil extracted with a revivor or rejuvenator on a regular basis.
4) have the coverstock resurfaced with a haus-type machine on a regualr basis.
5) scuff or polish the surface as needed.
