Are these things worth $30!?? :eek2:

I was polishing up some parts tonight and was thinking that it would nice to have the Power ball attached to to my DeWalt! Do they last a long time??

It should last if you take good care with it and keep a good amount of mothers on the power ball brush it should last over a year...

Would it be better to get the big one or little one. I would be doing parts like my Bumper, Grabber, nerfs, handlebars. I would probably use them on my truck wheels.

i love that stuff. its like $3 at walmart, and from what i've read, it seems a lot easier than mothers liquid, but ive never used it.

If you polish wheels and aluminum it is worth its weight and gold. I have both. I use it with the paste and it does a great job in a tenth of the time.

Well, I went Ahead a bought one this afternoon and I think it was worth it. But I figured out that the Liquid Mothers polish that I bought was a waste of $9! I have mothers Mag and aluminum polish and that stuff works better than the liquid junk!

Your right on that one ShiftFMX. The paste works alot better than the liquid. It seems like the liquid you have to rub harder to get the black stuff coming rather than the paste.

Liquid works pretty darn good for me, just a quick few mins on this one with some good results.

I bought one and thought it sucked!!! There's no replacement for elbow grease. I used it on my truck wheels. Maybe if you polish the stuff every couple weeks it might be good, but once the aluminum gets oxidized enough the balls don't work for crap.

my dad and i are always trying new stuff on our wheels both of us have polished alum. rims. I used flitz it, mothers, and a ton of different kinds that you can get at car shows. i use the flitz it attatchment with mothers and it has worked the best for me. but like what was said before if you realyl want them to shine you will have to do it by hand. i use the ball to do a clean up job and to get it somewhat back to shining and than i will go over it by hand. it takes time but once u do it right the first time it is easy to keep them clean.
