Just picked one up last week for my wheels. I like it a lot! I would definitely buy one again. I have to use an electric drill though, the battery one just couldn't cut it.

Maybe I was being too aggressive, but my mini powerball broke before I finished my third wheel lol. They were polished Z06's..so kind of a pain in the ***.

I like the small one for the face of the wheel, and the big one for polishing the inner barrel.

Target, Wal-Mart or any auto store will have them. They work great on exhaust tips.

I have a mini & use it quite abit on chrome wheels & various other small projects.

Get a small one, I got the big one, the small one would be handier for getting in between spokes. Just a tip, I use the mothers polish that's harder, not the liquid stuff, the powerball flings it all over your paint.
