    Default Polish?

    I currently have a C-Sytem Alpha Max, and I am looking for a polish to use on my ball. I have never used any polishes before and am looking to start using one on my ball. Does anyone have any input on brands, or about the different types? Should I just use the Brunswick brand, or are there any better ones out there? Thanks for any input!!

    Check out this one. PowerHouse Factory Finish Polish. The local pro shop I go to recommended another PowerHouse product that helps keep the shine on my ball but this is the actual polish.

    First what are you looking for in the surface change? I assume a different reaction or to match up with a certain condition.

    Because you can use different combos of grit and polish to achieve different surfaces. there are also polishes that will kill a lot of hook on a ball (like "Delayed Reaction").

    I use the Brunswick factory finish high gloss and the rough buff polish. They work well. I have even used automotive car wax before with no ill effects and it lasted a long time.

    I thought that Polish and wax could be entirely different things. Many polish treatments for cars, do not have wax in them?? Bill are you saying you can use wax, and or polish on a bowling ball! I would think wax would case the ball to be more slick,,, where as polish,(without wax), would behave more like the products they use on bowling ball,,,,((((or am I wrong??)))

    Bill if you use wax,,,,, do you "Wax on",,,,, "Wax off",,,,Wax on,,,,, Wax off! (what movie Bill for 25 cents!!)

    You will only need one polish and one polish only. Beans' Secret Sauce. I put this polish and every single one of my balls. For me it lasts at least 18 or so games and it has fantastic tackiness.

    Mike, Karate Kid. Yes the wax is slick but I use the wax/polish to get more length. It worked well and was pretty durable. The only reason I stopped was concern over whether it would damage the coverstock.

    Default waxing vs polishing Pt. 2

    The real question about waxing vs polishing is....is it even legal because it's not something like dropping the cover stock or polishing its not a product made for bowling balls in general ...I wouldn't try it because tournaments might be able to DQ for it ...
