Just used my last drop of this magic elixir where am i supposed to get this magic stuff from now?

I think it is no longer available. Shame really because it was by far the best polish for old urethane which is all I used it for today as trying to make my bottle last.

He did and they took it with them into the sunset. Very sad. I still have a decent sized bottle thankfully. Best damn polish I’ve ever used. A little bit lasts a very long time.

I tried to copycat this formula back in 2007-2008, the last year I worked in a pro shop. I was looking for a way to polish a ball by hand, and to make a cost effective bulk polish/cleaner that I could use in the shop at about 1/10th of the bulk cost of other polishes and cleaners.
I mixed (At Scale):
1 Part 3M Finesse-It Polishing Compound
0.5 Parts Simple Green
2 Parts Hydrogen Peroxide 3%
I remember it "settling" a lot of the unmixed polish at the bottom and looking much like sewage water. When you shook it up and opened the cap you got that "Beans Fizz" and I was surprised at the sheen I could get by hand with this stuff. My customers loved it. A long time friend that used to post here 10 years or so ago nicknamed it "The Sickness". The college kids that I coached loved it.
The Secret Sauce was good for getting some sheen by hand, and the few times I met Beans in passing he was a great guy. I heard a few years ago that he had fallen ill. I hope that he recovered well. Judging from this thread so far, it looks like he's still around in the PA area. I wouldn't be surprised if he was still brewing batches if he's still in the pro shop game.

I was actually messaging with him yesterday on Facebook. He is behind bowlingBall shipper.com which is fantastic for shipping balls.
