Powerball is useless for me, way too ******* big
The mini works a lot better, but I could use an even smaller one. Not bad though

Bought a mini Power Ball this past summer. Works well on my chrome SS ten spokes and my neighbors thought it looked cool.

My drill was a little much for it though, and had to be careful and feather the speed around the edges to avoid ripping up the Power Ball. I used Mother's liquid chrome polish.

However, an SOS pad and NuFinish does a pretty good job too (ducks & runs).

I hate polishing these damn aluminum wheels, so after buying yet another set of them (it was a hard deal to pass up) I decided to shell out the money for one of these. The ball definately isn't the end all be all of polishing tools, but it does work well enough on the larger area and helps to save the fingers for the smaller spots.

I use the powerball mini and mother's chrome polish. It helped with the hairline scratches.
