Mothers PowerBall! Help!

Graves · 07-11-2008, 04:35 PM

I just bought a PB mini to polish my wheels with. I've never used one, nor have I seen one used. It only comes with one ball.

So.. do you apply polish by and, then use the PB to remove it, or apply with the PB and remove by hand?

Post up quick , I want to get this done before Biff's!

looks like you apply the polish to the PB

You put it on with the PB as far as I know. Never used one but we sell um at work.

Can you use the ball to polish chrome wheels?

You apply the cleaner with the ball and wipe off by hand ..... I use mine all the time

is this for chrome wheels only? and does it include the cleaner with the ball or just the ball

Chrome or polish as far as I know, not sure about painted. And no, the polish is not included with the big or mini.

There is a new powerball for paint. Chip Foose does the commercials for it during the weekend powerblock on Spike tv.

Hmmm... not sure if I've seen that one yet, I'll check this weekend cuz I always watch that.

Thanks, Tim.

I managed to get one finished before Biff's. I applied the polish by hand with a microfiber cloth, then used the PB (low speed drill) to buff it off. Came out looking great. Took me about 30 minutes though.

I also read that after you polish them, to was them off with a water/dish soap solution, then they'll look even better. Kind of curious to see how that works.

Lifted78Chevy · 07-12-2008, 12:42 AM

i've never washed after words.....but they do work good.....just takes a lil elbow grease.

kinda sounds like that would defeat the purpose tho dont it? i would think the hard water would make em look all nasty again

Graves · 07-12-2008, 11:35 AM

Yea, I dunno. Thought it was strange too, but the guy had good results.

timpryor · 07-12-2008, 11:38 AM

The reason they say to wash it is so it gets ALL of the polish out, but I would NEVER use dish soap on my car EVER. A cold water or Alcohol wipedown is alot better.

Agent Jones · 07-12-2008, 11:39 AM

anyone have a link to the painted rims version?

Graves · 07-12-2008, 11:42 AM

There isn't one. There's just a PB and PB mini...and a new one for paint, but it's about as big as the normal one.

Remeber DISHSOAP is designed to CUT grease and OIL......

You ONLY want to use it on your car to strip all the old wax off if you are looking to do that. Otherwise like the Timmah said never use dish soap on your car.....

timpryor · 07-12-2008, 12:55 PM

There are far better things to use to cut grease and oil such as P21S.
