Mothers Powerball Rocks! I know, I know, I'm the only retard in America that hasn't had a chance to check out the Powerball yet. Well, that all changed last night when I finally took the plunge and attempted to polish my Draglites.
I absolutely HATE polishing of any sort, so I picked up the regular size Powerball and a can of Mothers Billet polish on the recommendation of a few friends, along with a few microfiber towels.
I got home and wiped the wheels off to ensure that they were clean. I then smeared a liberal amount of the billet polish onto the first wheel, and fired up the powerball. I ran it for ~a minute making sure to touch all parts of the wheel, and then I smeared on another coat and powerballed for ~another minute, and wiped the wheel clean. WOW! I was literally shocked at how little time it took to make these wheels look GREAT! After doing all four, I MIGHT have spent 45 minutes on it.
They look insane, the only part that doesn't look great is around the valvestem where the ball has a hard time reaching. I'm going to pick up a Powerball Mini to help with that - if all else fails, I'll just do that by hand.
A heads up to anybody who hasn't tried it yet: the Powerball works GREAT!

This is what it looked like after two passes with the power ball and power metal polish.
And this is after 45mins by hand polishing

I use it a lot and if you used any other polish other then the mothers liquid polish that comes in the red bottle it will work a lot better! The mother polish in the little red/white can is a lot better then the liquid!! its
