Mothers Powerball

Xtreme03 · 02-24-2005, 06:57 PM

I saw it in the SEMA coverage in several mags but I couldn't find it in any store around here...bought it off ebay. It's $30 and it attatches to your drill.

I finally got a chance to use it today to polish my wheels...I scooped some of my Mothers Billet Polish onto the ball and went at it. If you've got polished aluminum wheels...this is awesome. It's a MILLION times easier and it does alot better job than you could ever dream of by hand!!!

ever hers of zoop seal? it suppost to be good for polished aluminum

Xtreme03 · 02-27-2005, 11:02 PM

Yeah...but I don't have $130 to spend on that stuff right now....and you still have to polish before you use it.

Dan · 02-27-2005, 11:07 PM

so that powerball wont scrach your rims? i have polished aluminum wheels look sweet when clean but it takes time

bg's · 02-28-2005, 02:31 AM

I don't have the Mother's polishing ball, but I do use the Flitz ball all the time with
Blue Magic. Works a lot faster than I do....

Does it leave any fine scratches at all on polished aluminum wheels ??????

bg's · 02-28-2005, 04:37 PM

Well I've had my wheels since 99 so they're a lil beat up, but as far as small scatches I don't
believe so. Once dirty it can be taken apart and washed in mild soap..I have a pic of a wheel
I did. It's not real good but you can get the idea how it works..

i pollish my boyds with mothers ultimate polish its like 15 compaired to the reg thats like 6 but it works way better. i gotta find me a ball

whitedime · 02-28-2005, 08:57 PM

why not get a mushroom buffing wheel for about three bucks

Xtreme03 · 02-28-2005, 10:44 PM

I trust Mothers products. That's why I went with it.

It works great....It just rained today and is supposed to snow overnight...otherwise I'd get some pics up to see how great of a job it did.

I used the Mothers Ultimate Billet Polish. With the Powerball, it made my wheels shine alot more than when I do it by hand. It's alot easier to polish any kind of oxidation marks with it than by hand.

96blazer · 03-02-2005, 04:31 AM

You can get polishing bits at hot shows and swapmeets. Same as that Mothers deal, but they only cost about $4.

dropped1 · 03-02-2005, 10:16 PM

I Want one, wish Autozone or Advanced Auto carried them..

bg's · 03-03-2005, 05:41 AM

For what it's worth, the Flitz tv special comes with the ball, a small tube of flitz and a few small packages
of Flitz. It was 19.95 + shipping & handling. It came out to 27. & change for me. If you could find the
cheaper polish pads that would be the way to go, or if you can find the Mother's Powerball but
if not here's the link. Click the "As seen on TV" when you get there if you want to ck it out.>

what polishing or cleaning compound would be best to use with the powerball on chrome rims??

Just use carnuba wax, itll be just fine!

Dallas@2020Kustoms · 04-25-2005, 07:18 PM

A non-abrasive polish would work best. Poorboys Professional Polish is great stuff but if your looking for something off the shelf I can't really think of anything that compares.

Using a carnuba wax after is an okay idea but it won't last long.

I need to take this statement back, the average price is now $8 - $10 for regular sized polishing bits at the swapmeets.

I just bought two more on Sunday from the huge Hot Rod swapmeet out here. Last year I paid $4 for them, now they've gone up, must be selling good.

bitchin sonoma · 04-26-2005, 08:52 PM

I want to clean my 20s chrome rims faster, so would the mothers powerball work? It said ,on the site ,that it cleans every thing. So!!! I might get one of them mothers!!!! It prob won't scratch my beautys!!

So tired of cleaning by hand, I wish I had a robot cleaning my rims and my bitchass sonoma!!!

dropt95s10 · 04-26-2005, 09:37 PM

man, i used it on my rims that were in baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadddddddddd bad shape. worked great. heres some pics

me doin them.

rim before.....

rim after.....

jimmything08 · 04-26-2005, 09:43 PM

So is it a one time deal or what?

dropt95s10 · 04-26-2005, 09:50 PM

no i dont think so........i think its just a new product that will be around for awhile.................

or if your asking if you can only use it once, no you can use it as many times as you want, or until it wears out or whatever. it can be washed.

cab · 04-26-2005, 11:42 PM

I got one.. I started usin it on my wheels.. it did okay but it left spots here and there that it didnt get.. are you guys applying the polish to the rim or what? what steps are you guys gfoin through?

i used the mothers power metal aluminum and put it on the powerball, then i rubbed it around to stop it from slingin all over the place, then i lightly hit the trigger to get it going and after it was spread pretty good i got r done with the high rpms. on the spots that the ball couldnt get, like the small windows in my rims i used a microfiber and the power metal. on some spots that were still kind of bad i used mothers mag and aluminum polish and a cotton towel. the wheels turned out pretty good i think. i kind of got lazy towards the end though. so i may take them back off the truck and hit them again really good before it really gets nice out.

I noticed they had that Powerball at O'Rielys Auto Parts last weekend. I'm looking to pick one up and give it a try.

blazinon18s · 04-27-2005, 10:34 AM

96blazer · 04-28-2005, 06:11 AM

I'm polishing up some rims that have sat outside for 3 years,
here's the center caps, on the right is the polished one.

I only spent a few minutes on before I had to stop, but you can see the difference.

Grinch78 · 04-28-2005, 02:56 PM

Any of you use real polish? Like the stuff that comes in bars. I have a full polish kit that I bought when I clipped a curb almost a couple years ago that I will probably pull out this summer used a medium grit polish to get rid of the little rock nicks and then use the finer one and after that probably throw on some zoop seal that I will be buying now that I have my tax return. Look at my avatar, thats 6 months without polishing and a quick car wash.

Here is a better pic.

EvenFlow · 04-28-2005, 10:00 PM

Billet > chrome

Is the powerball worth the money? I love my wheels clean and they stay pretty clean but I'm always looking for a way to get them cleaner

s10cyncrvr · 04-29-2005, 12:42 AM

I bought a powerball today and have mixed opinions on it. Its quick, it does a good job of removing oxidation, and its fairly gentle but i noticed it gets warm under even light pressure. Plus its nowhere near as soft as a latex glove. I'm going to continue using it on the backs of my wheels where I have a lot of wide open areas because it cuts down on time considerably. As for the fronts, I'm sticking to hand polishing. It's a lot gentler and provides superior results in my opinion.

My opinion on the billet/chrome debate...

I know, I know, spelling > me

They're billit rims and I use the Mothers Billit Polish with these type of polishing bits:

You obviously have no clue about what you're saying.

You'd lose money on that bet.

It's not your fault, you probally never seen properly taken cared off billit rims since the average persons doesn't know or doesn't like to maintain them. Or you've probally been feed some bullshlt from salesmen who would rather steer you into buy chrome rims because they usually cost more.

Billit - deep, rich shine
Chrome - shallow, cheap shine.

Look back at the many Billit Vs Chrome thread billit wins for the better shine. Chrome only wins for the easy to clean votes, but as those who know will tell you, they rather take the time to have rims with the better shine.

I'm not trying to be jerk or anything, just wanting to stir it up a bit... Lets see a pic of those chrome wheels... I noticed they had that Powerball at O'Rielys Auto Parts last weekend. I'm looking to pick one up and give it a try.
