Thread: How long does a polish last?

    Default How long does a polish last?

    Had to polish my Vivid as it had too much bite and losing energy so the first attempt was to polish then if that did not work have it sanded to a 4000 grit. The polish worked the first night but seems to have gone back to the OTB results the second night which leads me to ask if polish is short lived?....And does Reacta Clean remove the wax used in polishing?

    Polish will usually last between 35 and 50 games. If you are not getting enough reaction, polish was not the anwer. Remember that oil conditions change, even if they tell you it is exactly the same. Machines lay it down very close to the same, but there are a lot of other factors. I recommend sanding it to 2000 grit and seeing what you think. I like my Vivid with a little more surface than the OOB finish. Best of luck!

    Also keep in mind the lane surface will effect how long the polish will last. Drier or softer surfaces will burn the polish off faster. Years ago i bowled in a center that would bun the polish off in just over 1 game
    Still love the game but had to quit because of my left leg amptation
