HAHAHAHAH All you losers out there wasting time polishing your wheels.

It takes me 10 minutes to clean all 4 of my chrome rims, including getting the back side by the brakes(I have a special brush to get back there with the wheels on the car).

I need to pick up the Mini...I have the regular Powerball and I had a tough time on my TTIIs with it...it worked great on the outer ring, but there were too many nooks and crannies and I ended up doing a bunch by hand...I think this winter I'm going to have my spokes powdercoated black so I can just polish the lip...

The powerball is well worth the 20 dollars for sure, i use them when i detail my car adn a few others for people i know. i brought my dads zr-1 wheels back to life and he thought his wheels were shot, i should have taken a before and after, it was crazy. use the mothers polish on it, the liquid on is better to me anyway, but yeah mothers power ball is a miracle worker...

do you apply the polish to the wheels first or directly onto the powerball?

I bought both the powerball and powerball mini and right after that I bought Black Z06's. So I have yet to use either of the products. My Buddy uses them on his z71 and they seem to work wonders to a dirty wheel.

What's it cost just to have them clear coated? My friend just bought new AFS Z06 wheels that are polished, but not clear coated. Maybe it's a good idea to just clear coat them before mounting them? Grrr...then again, the tires are mounted and balanced already, so I guess that's not the most cost effective idea. I just know she's gonna let the wheels go, and I have to polish them then!
