It's a compound finish - Track Clean N' Sheen.  Try taking a green scotchbrite pad and lightly scuff the cover.  I find that a light scuff every now and then brings the ball pretty close to box finish.

Be sure to clean the ball after every 3 game set, and if you can, wipe it down before each shot.

I am on my second Animal and have loved both (I sold my first because it was used and it had to be plugged and redrilled for my use; I wanted a NIB, first drill). Anyway, they have both been great and never "died" on me ... HOWEVER, I use a micro-fiber towel on ALL of my stuff after every time they are on the lane, I'm meticulous about cleaning my stuff after every league and/or practice session, and I will take them in to my pro shop, as needed, for a thorough cleaning and sanding/scotch-briting to maintain the surface condition that I want and need.  I
 IMHO, you need to take better care of your stuff than ever before. My two cents ...

I bowl on a THS and the pattern there is usually medium.  I usually don't see too much heavy oil.  Maybe 5-10 times in our league (31 weeks).  I hve seen heavy oil about 4-5 times this year in the first weeks.
