adrenaline wipes and surface adjustments
« on: June 14, 2012, 02:11:08 PM »
I'm not even sure if this is in the right forum but...
planning to sand then polish up a savage flip, evolve, and an angular one.

anyone have any opinions on the order?
adrenaline wipes - sand - polish

or sand- AW- then polish.

will be using ebo factory finish.

I'm leaning towards the latter.

thanks

I would wonder about applying AW and then applying polish over AW.
I never tried that. I would apply AW over the surface/finish that's going to contact the lane surface. I don't know how AW works, but Ebo Int'l says it changes the resin's oil absorption capability, chemically. It does seem to make the ball hook more, after it is freshly applied. Ebo (Track's product manager) told me to apply it every 6 games.

Let us know what you decide. These are older pieces. Would think the wipes would remove the polish.

So far, in my experiments, AW do not remove polish. They are not abrasive.

charlest is right, AW wouldn't and didn't remove the polish.  Did remove the shine tho.

I wiped the three plus a v2 dry. Did it more to stablish a baseline for performance.

Will try the AW then polish, altho if the product is more of an enhancing treatment, then there might not be any improvement.  I might have been operating under the wrong assumption that it is a deep cleanse product.

will post observations

My experience with the AW's has been nothing but good. Brought a ball out of the closet to test them right off the bat, and the rag turned black. Completely.

I now always use them after I've bowled a set, and it pulls everything that went in right back out. And as stated, it takes away a shine pretty quick. Made the red in my black widow stand out quite a bit more, though!

Okay, tried both, this is an initial report.  As the two centers I've bowled on are bit on the light side when it comes to oiling.

All three balls showed marked improvements in performance.  But due to the light oil pattern coulnd't really tell too much re the boards.  I also am able to adjust revs a bit, so the total hook is not too much of a concern.  What I really liked was the noticeable improvement in carry.  On several shots on which I was sure I would be leaving a ten pin, the six would carry the ten.  Both AW-polish and polish-AW seem to have the same improvement.

Will report again after playing on oilier conditions.  Total games so far around 2-3 per ball.
