it strictly says to go slow for the first few seconds after application in order to avoid splatter, after that the foam pretty much soaks up whatever u put on it and applies it to the surface of whatever ur polishing.

Mothers makes a Chrome wheel polish, I used it on my Z06 rims and it made them look amazing. Now i didnt use the power ball I hand polished them and it took me like an hour and a half to clean then polish and then buff. I have conteplated buying the power ball after cleaning the wheels though.

polishing chrome will help them hold up better and avoid pitting. I polish the chrome wheels on my truck and they look great after I finish.

We saw them at O'Reilly's here in Tennessee. They were 24.99. We're gonna try it out and see how it does on the Boyd's on my car.
I do agree that a clear coat on polished aluminum tends to make them look a little dull
