Bump. I hit it with the 2000 pad and lightly polished 6 sides. It doesn't look highly polished, but the cover feels very slick. Hoping I didn't over polish it

Hard to polish how? Requires more pressure for a longer length of time like most urethane balls?

From the Storm tech description of the Pitch Black, it seems like it probably old fashioned true urethane, not a urethane blend like most balls called "urethane" these days. As such it can be VERY, VERY hard to polish.

I think you need to take the surface up in stages from the stock 1000 grit to as high as you can, not skipping any stages in between grit levels. If it's as hard as old urethane is, you need to go from 1000 to 1200 to 1500 to 2000 to 2500 to 3000 to 4000 grit, before even considering polish. You might get all the skid you need at 3000 or 4000 grit.

Personally I found only Lane#1 Secret Sauce was capable of polish these true urethane balls.

I hit it with 2000 on top of the factory finish and then hit it with the polish. It actually looks like it took a little shine. I couldn't shave using it, but I didn't want that much shine yet. I was just trying to get it to be a little better playing through dry. I am scare to polish urethane too much and kill all the friction

I'd bet this finish closer to 4000 than over 4000, which would produce a shine.
Try it like this first. It may still skid too far; who knows until you test it. Then go from there.

+1 With the Secret Sause. It's the only polish I've found that will actually polish a true urathane ball.It works extremely well also. You can get a very high gloss with it. I do mine at 1000abr then polish
