It depends on how much friction you see. If you bowl on old wood, you may have to re-polish every 6-9 games. If you bowling on well maintained synthetics, it might be every 40-50 games. It's a combination of being able to get a good look at your track looking for wear and knowing your ball's reaction.
Bean's sauce looks and feels different, but does the same job as other polishes. They all add length and generally add some back end snap. Energy conservation. Skid more in the oil saving energy to be unleashed on the dry.
