Thanks!
Edit*- I've been using Valentino Snake Oil with Resurrection underneath. I'm getting too much skid. Maybe I don't have enough revs?

Solid balls- Either stock OOB surface or light finesse it over factory finish

On polished balls, I settled on 2.000 Abralon (4-sided) plus Brunswick's High Gloss Polish (4-sided), but I recently got hold of a bottle of Lanemasters polish which I want to try next.
For Rough Buff, I use either a maroon (320 grit) or green (600 grit) 3M pad as a base, again sanding and compound 4-sided.
I have also experimented with 3M's Finesse-It II Trizact compound, and this on a 4.000 Abralon base creates the shiniest and tackiest ball surface I have encountered so far. Result is a high gloss finish with very good traction at the breakpoint, and unholy pin carry due to the tacky ball surface.

Remember Resurrection puts a slight shine on the ball when used on a spinner or when applied with a damp sponge/towel. You might want to try either a dry towel or use a 600 or 800 grit abrasive like a Scotch Brite nylon pad and then apply the Snake Oil.
Also you might want to try a LIGHT application of Snake Oil over the Resurrection. Heck, you might want to try the shine provided by the Resurrection by itself first. Then if you don't get enough skid, apply the Snake Oil by hand lightly.
Everything is truly relative in this area of polish and release and oil amount.

I did that today. I used Snake oil over gray pad today to give that a try. I may throw it tomorrow and see how it works....
