I had posted an inquiry on this forum about how Abralon might compare with Scotch Brite or even sand paper in resurfacing a specific type of particle coverstock from Storm. Didn't really get the answer I was looking for so I inquired with Storm's Tech department via their website.
I'm very pleased with the response time from Storm in answering my question.

Jon,
Thanks for the email. We've noticed, in our testing, that Abralon doesn't open up the particles as much as Scotch Brite pads. The Abralon pads did work better than straight sandpaper, something that we don't ever suggest using on our particle bowling balls. With the same ball using 500 grit Abralon and then a green Scotch Brite pads, we observed the Scotch Brite getting 5 more boards total hook and about a foot and half earlier. So if the Scotch Brite pad is too much, you could switch to a Abralon Pad to smooth it out.
