I worked at the detailing department at a car wash and know something about buffers. This thing works *great* on paint, just like a commercial grade buffer wheel. If you have experience with a regular buffer wheel, this is an easy adaptation. It's small enough to handle easily, but big enough to do a fairly quick job.

I use a corded drill for doing a large vehicle. Unless your cordless has brand new batteries, they may run out. But you will save money by not having to buy a buffing tool. 2 of these babies (1 to polish, 1 to wax) and a good drill is all you will ever need. They clean up by soaking in dish soap solution for an hour or two (use enough soap). I definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants a good looking car and wants to save about $100 on equipment!

Mothers does not recommend our 05140 PowerBall on painted surfaces. We offer 05147 PowerBall 4Paint, which is of a different foam and made for use on painted surfaces. In addition, we recommend the use of a cordless drill due to its lower torque limits. Please use the right tool, in the right manner, for your needs.

used on semi truck wheels alum worked great.shined like a mirror. easy to use cuts work in half.

This great little tool saved my rims that have been tarnished for ten years. They look like new.

This is a great produce for polishing up those special auto rims. The job is made simple with this product and Mothers Mimi Ball is a must.

I just received the PowerBall I ordered, and put it to work the same day. The PowerBall is a good tool to use for the initial polishing of your aluminum. I used it on my Simmons 2 piece alumminum rims. It did remove some of the initial oxidation on my rims, but did not by any means bring them to complete finished shine. You will still have to use you hands and elbow grease to get a finished shine. The PowerBall won't reach in corners and edges, it is best used on flat surfaces. I used it with a cordless power drill, it might work better with a corded drill.
All in all it is ok for the initial step in polishing. The powerball seems sturdy, it hasnt torn apart as of 4 hours of use. Wish is was a little cheaper maybe $10.00.

Good product. Is the first time a use a Mothers Powerball, very easy use, do a great job. Save time polishing your wheels. I highly recommend to other people who wants a professional touch on your car.

WORKS GREAT ON WIRE WHEELS. DEFINITELY WORTH THE MONEY JUST IN THE AMOUNT OF TIME IS SAVES.

I purchased this as a Christmas present so I haven't used the product myself. From what I understand my brother loves it and the seller shipped the product within a timely manner.

I ordered this after reading many advertisments for the product. So far, I have not found any use for it. You should not use it on a clear finish so what is left. I will keep trying to find a use for it.
