Most Ball polishes started life out as car polishes, that had been re-purposed and relabeled. The thing to watch out for is not to use ones with Silicone or Wax in them.
Because it plugs the pores up.
Some auto ones that are typically used on bowling balls are:
Turtle Wax's Rubbing compound (red tub) & Polishing compound (green tub) red is coarse, green finer.
3M Finesse It, 3M Microfinishing Rubbing Compound, 3M Super Duty Rubbing Compound ( these three range from fine,medium and coarse grit)
Another thing to have is
Soft scrub (no bleach) it can make some nice sheen surfaces, depending on Underlaying grit. It was great on proactive coverstocks
(I did a guys Tombstone (thats a ball it was a big flop) with it, that ball was dead as dead could get He said I wouldn't be able to get it to hook again . I resurfaced it finished it off with soft scrub, it looked brand new which was saying a lot if you know the tombstones, you couldn't see a one sanding line on that ball.
First time he threw that ball down the lane, he threw it like he had been trying to make it hook. That thing hooked right off the lane before it hit the pins.)
