bowlerdawg,

When resin first came around and people asked Brunswick (big back then) how to polish their balls, they always recommended auto rubbing and polishing compounds. I believe they never had wax/silicone in them. Otherwise, car waxes which do have silicone probably would have a hard time sticking to them. Rubbing compounds have always worked on resin balls. In fact, that was the stock finish on the original super ball, the Danger Zone.

Charlest,  Have you tried Ruff Buff on this ball?

On the Danger Zone? or the S75?
Make no difference. No, I haven't. I have tried it on others, though.

It should work and leave less shine than polishes. (Even rubbing compounds leave a degree of shine on balls.)
The trick with such an aggressive compound as Rough Buff is to start at the right base grit level.

here is the reply from 900G ( Nick )
Jason,

    We received your question regarding the Break S75.  â€œHalfway” is our factory finish name for this ball.  It means that the ball is sanded to 360 grit then hit with a small amount of “brown compound”.  This brown compound is non-petroleum based and is equivalent to 800-1000 grit compound.  At this point we are not selling our compound/polishes but recommend similar products such as Storm’s resurfacing compounds and polish.

 

PS:  A detailed step by step process of each one of our factory finishes is located on our website.

Hope this helps!

here is Nicks second response ( im liking this service also )
Jason,

   We have not tested black majic, beans sauce, or valetino on our products so I do not have additional information to give you regarding those products.  3M finesse it II will put a higher degree of shine than most other products on the market. So if you use finesse it be sure not to use too much when polishing.

 

Hit with 360 and then use a light polish.

If it's an 800 - 1000 finish, then Valentino's Resurrection is a perfect natural for this. Use it by hand and the finish is 800 grit matte. Use it with a spinner and it's 800 grit plus the lightest of shines.
Resurrection is a refresher for any surfaced resin. It takes almost anything from 400 to P4000 (4000 Abralon) grit to 800 grit and does a nice deep cleaning of the coverstock, its major purpose.
