    Question MOTHERS Powerball Mini

    Who's used it here? I kind of have neglected my polished aluminum wheels for sometime now. I have done hand polishes every so often but not when I really needed it. Now it being almost Spring(ish) I have to do something about it, so I bought a Powerball Mini and plan on polishing the wheels up this afternoon. Just looking for some reviews from you guys. Thanksss.

    I've never used it, but my buddy has it and he says good things about it.

    I used Never dull before when polishing by hand, but now I have Mothers Mag Polish. So we'll see how it turns out. Mothers has never disappointed me before.

    Well I'm going to take some pictures of before and after. Maybe use my never dull first, clean, then polish with my Mothers products. Not too sure yet. I gotta change out an O2 sensor while I'm out there.

    heres a look at what it did for me, on the left hand side thats circled is what was not done and the rest beside it was done with the rouge and wheels, i found it in the tool department, its by riobi, i used the green colored first, then black and polish it out to a shine with the white rouge, used seperate wheels for each color

    Check in the Car Pics section, I posted some pictures of what it did for me. But I'm going to check Home Depot out since it's like a 1/2 mile away.

    I have a power ball. its awesome. you can use it to polish, wax, shine, whatever. easy to clean as well. but i say it also has to do with the polishing products you use. i know at my dealership we have stuff called clear cut. its great on anything polished, and i heard you can find it in some auto stores, but i don't know where.

    I took my rim off and polished it up a good bit so I could get around the lugs where it was the worst of it all. But I'm going to wait to finish up before posting more pictures.
