2.0 out of 5 stars Mini Powerball Not Small or Tough Enough, September 29, 2009

This review is from: Mothers 05141 PowerBall Mini Polishing Tool (Automotive)

Bought the Mini PowerBall to do the aluminum wheels on my motorcycle after I tried the regular PowerBall and found it WAY too big to get into all the areas I needed to. Even the Mini was difficult to get into some areas. I wish Mother's would make a Micro or Nano version.

The ball worked well with the Billet Polish to get a mirror shine in most areas. However, I would caution you to take your time and use only light to light-medium pressure on the ball because it didn't take too long before it began to tear apart on the inner folds and start thumping around on the surface, making it useless. I had to buy another in order to finish the job and it was starting to tear by the time I was done. Not very cost-effective. BTW, I have used cotton buffing wheels with the compound bars and the like in the past in order to buff various metals and had already used that method here before using the Mini PowerBall and Billet Polish for the final step in the process. So I wasn't trying to grind away at a rough, dull surface with this PowerBall, just bringing up the shine to as close to chrome as possible.

4.0 out of 5 stars Smaller is better, December 16, 2006

Smaller is definitely better when it comes to power balls. I bought the original one and it worked well, but was hard to get into the smaller portions of my wheels. I did not use the extension rod much. I still used my dremil in some of the corners, but if you want to polish you wheels with less effort than just a rag and some elbow grease it is much better. The polishing compound that comes with the set works very well also.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok but still not small enough, March 5, 2009

I bought this small one because their large Powerball is really too big to do normal-sized auto wheels. But this small one is 'still' too big to fit into my 15" wheels. I guess it was designed for a SUV. C'mon Mothers, how about a teeny one... (see the comments below on this review)
