Does anyone know what grit this polish is ?

I don't know what Grit the Ebonite Factory Polish is, but it definitely has grit in it. I think Charlest can answer your question as to what grit it has.

No polish technically has a grit. Manufacturers post a maximum grit level, but it's impossible to truly duplicate the finish at home, time afetr time. Too many, many factors involved in the process.

It can't be "1500" because they use it on ball like the Venom and Cherry Vibe which are first sanded to 4000 grit Abralon before it is applied.

There is magic number for any polish. period.

FYI it is a very lightly abrasive polish which shoudl only be used on balls sanded to at least 800 grit US scale
