I bought the Mini-Powerball and it works great on my Corvette's aluminum rims. Never used it for anything else but a good metal polish and the Powerball did an excellent job on those rims

After seeing those results I must say it works great.

I have both sizes, used the bigger one 3 times. The only thing it does for me is saves alot of elbow grease. My Hawk rims have no problems with them, so mine is just keeping the shine. The best money I spent for cleaning something. I'm thinking about buying a 2nd big one to put the polish on with, then switch and put the other one to take the polish off.

I have the larger one .. It leaves too much undone on my TTII's. I think the smaller one would be just the ticket. On larger surfaces without too many valleys ... the larger one works great!
