Power Ball Polisher

[All Blue ACR]

Anybody used one? Comments? Thinking for my Chrome ACR wheels

 

[Brandon@DC Performance]

I would imagine it would work just fine... I use it frequently to clean my friends DTMKreuz high-polish wheels and it's AMAZING how much time it saves!

For us clueless..... "power ball polisher"?

It's a Mothers product.. its a polishing ball that connects to a regular drill and cuts polishing time by ~ 75%

you should not use anything on Chrome wheels, besides a very mild solution. I have always used P21s. The best wheel cleaner on the market IMHO.. Strong cleaning power, but very mild and Ph balanced. So you dont get any discoloring on your calipers and rotors. Which is common with the "pep boys" type acid based cleaners..

I would not use a mothers polish ball on chrome, no need to... MAYBE polished. Not chrome.

a friend of mine used it on his 97 wheels and they came out perfect.

They come in two sizes. The smaller one is for polished wheels but kind of messy. I would not use one on chrome either. The big one is for car polishing.

Agree. Chrome should be easy to clean as it is. If anything, use some good chrome polish (Meguiars Hot Rim, consumer line for example), and a microfiber cloth.

I have the two sizes also. I love them, it save countless hours on polishing the Vipers wheels and exhaust tips.

False, The RED Small(mini) & BIG one are Both used for polishing most anything other then paint.
Mothers® PowerBall®
Mothers® PowerBall Mini®

The BIG Yellow one (aka Powerball 4 paint) is for Paint.
Mothers® PowerBall 4Paint®

For wheels with a lip, the MINI is a must. It is small enough to get the whole lip as where the Big one cant get in close enough. I use both though on my aluminum wheels and couldnt imagine polishing without em

Also, they do have a polish for Chrome:

HMMM, guess you better tell that to Chip Foose who is sponsored by Mothers and on Speed TV his ads show him personally useing the large RED ball to polish his show car.

I have the mini ball and I'm not too impressed with it. It still has a hard time reaching in between things. I may try the new cone shaped one though.

 

[Paul Hawker]

They also now have a POWER CONE. More solid, and made for getting more into things.

Looks like it would be great for wheels.

SWEET! hahaha.

I just bought and haven't even used the small one to try on my wheels and NOW you tell me there's a cone one now! I guess i'll drop another 25 bucks on that one too!

Thanks for the insight! Off to the auto parts store i go. This weekend is wheel weekend!

I just ordered the "Cone" yesterday. It varies on-line anywhere from $22.00 + shipping, to $34.00. A "tad" more than the balls
