Roger that! I've always heard good things about their products. I use their waxes and such currently. For 30 bucks, I'll give it a try.

I used Mother's billet polish, and used a rag to put it on a section of the wheel first, and then hit it with the Powerball. If you put the polish on the ball it would fly everywhere. It did such a great job, my wheels were in bad shape from sitting in storage all winter and it made them look like mirrors. Total time was 15-20 minutes per wheel as oposed to 30-45 minutes last year by hand. It even got down into my lug recesses. I did have to use a rag just to do the final wipedown and polishing, but it was pretty minimal.

The powerball also cleaned up to good as new with just dish detergent.

Did you get swirl marks or anything of that nature after use? I've got to try this out. I'm tired of sitting there polishing for 45min on each rim.
