doesn't Brunswick have a polish called "rough buff" and isn't that what it's supposed to be for ?

Best pic I could find was one of BrunsNick's:

Its not an actual grit finish just a grit filler compound that gives it a less glossy finish, its looks like a cloudy murky version of their High gloss polish.

Greg,
The factory finish of Absolute Inferno is wetsanded to 220 grit and finished with rough buff.
400 grit wet sand is the base for balls finished with High Gloss Polish.

burak natal, it took some time but i finally found about the 220 grit wetsanding on the absolute on brunswicks website. i seems odd that a pearlized reactive ball would be left that dull before the rough buff was applied, doesn't it ?
