Isn't this ball supposed to be polished?  Mine came dull!

charlest,

I hope you aren't thinking I'm in disagreement with any of you statements and mad at my posts. I just was stating that the surface after Resurrection made the ball look the same as out of box. I also agree that how it looks to the eye doesn't mean it's the same. As a matter of fact I think I do get tiny amount of less reaction using the Resurrection than when the ball was new. I'm trying to figure out what would be the best choice for surface without using The Motiv Power Gel.


Not at all. I was trying to make sure you understand. Don't let any comment I make stop you from trying to do what you feel you need to do. I never say what you MUST do. I'm only making suggestions from what I feel I know.

If you use Resurrection on a spinner, you should get a light shine with a normal application. Often on such balls as the GT-1, I find that enough to get a good ball reactio and adding additional polish provides too much length. "Stand on" the Resurrection with a little more spinner time and a little more hand pressure (I do not mean very hard at all!) to give you slightly more shine. See how that reacts.

power gel is similar to the rough buff polish that brunswick is  using. its hard to duplicate the same finish on 2 balls because it depends  on how much pressure you put on the ball.

I must admit, I did not find them simialr at all. Power Gel is mild polish with respect to the llength it adds. It seemed very easy to get a nice shine on the ball. Rough Buff is much more tricky to apply over the correct grit level and is a much more aggressive compound. I find the results and what these two liquids do to be very different.
