I've used Track's Clean 'N Smooth and it works very well. It gives the ball a slight sheen. It gives it slightly less surface than wet sanding with 1500 (maybe equivalent to 2000 grit because of the slight polishing agents).
I'm a little confused about Clean 'N Sheen. It's listed as mild abrasive and said to restore balls to factory dull finish but it actually polishes the ball. It doesn't feel abrasive at all, especially compared to the Clean 'N Smooth. I was told it's the factory finish for the Triple Threat (compound finish) and it's listed as factory for the Animal. I use it as my polish for all of the dull balls. If I need more length, then I'll use Magic Shine, Clean N' Polish or Delayed Reaction. But hitting out of the box balls like the Unleashed, Havoc and Crunch with Clean 'N Sheen will produced a nice polish. It keeps the underlying agressiveness of the ball but still gets it down the lane some.
I'm having trouble at this one house where they are severely wet/dry. I plan on trying Clean 'N Smooth vs Clean 'N Sheen to smooth out the reaction (no pun intended
).
