Title: Zen surface prep
Post by: Strider on October 14, 2022, 07:57:34 AM

I did a search but couldn't find what I'm looking for. Does anyone know the surface steps 900 Global uses to get the box surface for the Zen? All the web site says is "Reacta Gloss".  Anyone know what grit level(s) they sand to before applying the polish? I want to make a change, but knowing what the original steps were would help me decide what I want to do.

Search "Storm Bowling/Reacta Gloss" You Tube Video.  Alex Hoskins explains how to replicate the Reacta Gloss finish using a ball spinner steps (starting 1:35).

Thanks @ClarkD and @jimjames

In case anyone wants the short version, Reacta Gloss = 500/2000/4000 + Reacta Gloss. 4K Fast = 360/500/1000/2000/4000 (no polish).

A little different compared to the old 1500 grit polished method which was 500/1000/2000/4000 then the Storm Step Two compound.

FWIW I just took a 4000 pad to the box surface and like it much better now. Cured some of the jerkyness at the break point. Still makes a good move, just a lot more predictable.
