Depends on the base surface you put under it. Brunswick recommends 400 grit wet sanded, and with High Gloss on top, you normally still can see the sanding lines. But higher grits are nor problem at all, I prefer 2.000 Abralon which leaves a very even surface that gets the balls easily through the head area.

Brunswick High Gloss is supposed to be a non-abrasive polish. This means the sanding level under the polish will remain as it is.

No polish finishes a ball at any grit. When a grit level is mentioned on a bottl eof polish, that is, in most cases, a maximum level at best. If a polish does have abrasives in it, like Beans Seceret Sauce and Storm's Xtra and Reacta SHine, the finished grit level depends on whatthe underlying sanded grit level you start with on the ball, how much polish is applied, how hard you press and for how long you spin it. It is always an unknown because of all the variables involved.

FYI Storm Reacta Shine says it's 1500 grit. I hope you don't believe that no matter what sanding level is on the ball, how much is applied or how hard you press for how long the result is alwasy 1500 grit? The same for Xtra SHine and its 3500 grit level.

Not to hijack the thread but what other polishes besides Brunswick High Gloss have no grit in them?

As far as I know Snake Oil and Black Magic and the Xl version.  There are probably others but at this moment I can't think about those.

Lanemasters Factory Finish and Snake Oil are also supposed to be non-abrasive.

I believe Renew-It by Neotac is also non-abrasive.
