Default Mechanically Polishing Wheels

I've always hand polished my aluminum wheels and I'm thinking about trying out some of the polishing *****/cones that you use with a drill. Are there any attachments that are better then the other? Any tips?
Thanks!

I have been using the powerball for about a year. Love it, it doesn't stop all the hand work but it sure cuts down on it.

I've used the larger powerball and it works very well. I still like to give them a good hand polishing every once in and while though to get the places the powerball doesn't hit as well.

I think the smaller powerball would work better.

The small powerball works well for me. Do yourself a favor and pick up a bottle of White Diamond polish from Advance Auto. It's so easy to use with amazing results. I just switched to it last month after using almost every other product on the market, none compare to this stuff.
