I just picked one up and tested it out and it worked great. I used the billet polish in the small jar. i also used baking flour in combo with the polish. Note the light source didnt change between the following 2 pics. Heres a before pic

I have a powerball used it with mothers chrome polish on my chrome rims and found that it scratched my rims, I have tiny/light marring all over my rims

cruisinlows10 · 04-29-2006, 05:48 PM

did you have dirt on the wheel? did you clean it thouroughly before poewrballing?

cruisinlows10 · 04-29-2006, 05:50 PM

and my digital cam batteries are dead. so i wont be taking any outdoor pics.

yah, i always wash, dry with a wheel cleaner than polish. but it'd be interesting to know if anyone else has found the powerball damage chrome.

You're not supposed to polish chrome rims.

Used it on a buddy's 22's yesterday , worked good and no scratches , and the wheels was dirty . Look brand new again after sitting on his broke down truck in the weather for 8 months

theres a reason for chrome plating.. so you dont have to polish

Pestilence · 05-03-2006, 03:51 PM

I have heard great things about the powerball, i dont have any chrome or billet wheels lol, but i have enought chrome on my cutlass so i might have to invest in one of those.

Finally advance autoparts have the small powerball! I did try my big one on my chrome wheels and it didn;t do crap to them. But the ball is too big to fit in tight corners. Now i am going to get the small powerball!

Agreed, there is no reason to polish chrome rims, just like rims that have a protective clear coat on them. All your gonna do is damage your rims. Its only meant for billet rims.
