Mothers Power Ball

[DropTopPony]

Does the Mothers Powerball have any abrasive qualities to it or is it just a sponge?
I'm looking for a tool like the mini to clean my wheels but i have painted wheels and don't want to scratch them up.

Any suggestions on something similar is or what you use is appreciated.

OK i figured it out on my own

I am gonna use the Yellow Ball for paint to clean the front on my wheels and i am gonna buy a red one to clean/polish the back side that is brushed aluminum....i will have to hand polish my exposed aluminum on the lip and lug area so i don't scratch the paint.

But i am open to other products if you know of them.

Mother power ball kinda sucks because it wares REALLY fast...i mean 2 uses and its Gone..... do 4 wheels really good and its gone.

I think the FLITZ power ball is a better product

I personally am not lazy and use some elbow grease and it looked better then when I used a powerball.

I tried the ball a while back, it was a pita to hold in place and didn't seem to do much?

interested in the Flitz ball?

You try it out? I was looking for 2lb flitz cans on ebay and came across the ball...was curious how it worked.

+ 1 I tried one last summer and threw it away after about 10 minutes.

I had a powerball also, I dunno about light duty, but medium to heavy duty, it didn't work at all, no matter how fast I sun it or hard I pushed.

FYI, FLITZ is a site sponsor so we get a discount.... Might as wheel give the Flitz Power Ball a chance

I havn't tried the flitz ball.

I can see how it could be helpfull on the concaved areas like where the spoke meets the wheel, but for the rest of it, hand work, and I actually use my orbital on the flat areas I can get to.

i use a black and decker mouse polisher/sander on my wheels.

you can buy soft foam pads that last a while and are very acurate on wheels, powerballs are bush league

Have the large and small one. The only complaint I have with the small one is that it cannot get into very small areas. Do not use a battery opp drill unless you have a good one with a strong motor. I use a corded drill ad it works fine.

meh.. got one for christmas 2 years ago and used it for about 5 minutes.. i cleaned half a wheel and stopped using it.

haven't picked it up since. idk where it even is..
