Title: Freak-A-Zoid Coverstock Prep
Post by: im4x4nut on September 03, 2006, 10:17:56 AM
I need some help from the Track folks.  I want to restore my FAZ to box finish and need the base sanding grit.  And what types/kinds/brands of polishes will work to get to the compound finish.  Thanks in advance...Nuts

To get the OOB finish on the Freakazoid you need to sand it lightly at 900-1000 as Mutilated mentioned then hit the surface with Track's Clean n Sheen...this is their compound finish.

If the ball companies would take a little time to have a surface prep section for their equipment then these questions wouldn't be asked on BR.  I did a search on BR looking for this ball info before posting this topic.  I haven't checked all company sites but I know that Dyno-Thane has their base sanding grit listed for newer balls which is very helpful. All ball companies should follow them.

I agree that it would help if that info was out there.


Ya never know folks....maybe I will post a thread with that info on the Track equipment.

Carl,

That would be awesome if you could compile the list for OOB finishes, and the recommended polish/cleaner for each coverstock.


Yes Carl, that would be very helpful.  I'm just doing my job and delegating guys....
