Mother's PowerBall I picked up a PowerBall today and used it on my wheels. It cleans em up nicely and all, but it doesnt seem to make them shine like I thought it would... I am using it with the Mothers aluminum polish.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Has anybody used it on chrome wheels yet? I actually don't mind polishing mine, except right where the spokes meet the inside of the diameter of the wheel. (I have ZR1's) I have also heard a couple times that a couple of the mothers aluminum polishes don't work that well- just what I heard...

I hear that the Mother's Powerball works nicely. Aluminum wheels polish up really well with it.

I've found that the Powermetal polish is way better than the regular Mag and Aluminum polish. I have one of the regular Powerballs but I need to get one of the Mini-Powerballs because it doesn't like to clean the nooks and crannies of my Z06 wheels.
The way I've found to get best results is to make sure the Powerball is good and polished up and black and make sure you use enough polish. Just keep polishing and polishing with it and go over the wheel 2-3 times and THEN buff it out really good.

i tried it and used it on my old trucks wheels...it was nice for a touch up but it cant get those hard to get places like corners and stuff..i think they make a mini which im sure would be better for that...but imo takin your time and doin it right, by hand, gives the best results
He endorses mothers, it on the thing called television. Their products are great for the average joe. I would bet money he dosen't use mothers on his show cars. They shine way to brilliantly for that product.
