I tried the new Mother's Powerball today on the wheels on my 86. I did a little writeup here:

Good write up Joe. I have been wondering about that thing myself. I'll bet that it would do a great job on a wheel that had a bit of shine already....

hobbz · 08-04-2005, 02:40 AM

dang that is a great improvement

CHEVYE · 08-04-2005, 09:07 AM

i've been wanting to get one of those but it looked so flimsy. $20 for a ball of foam

. did any of the little pieces of foam break off when you used it? it looked to me that if it were to get on the edge of a wheel anywhere that it might come flying apart. i guess i want to know if it seems like a pretty durable product, thanks.

Here's a couple of pics I found on another site showing before and after the Powerball....

Not really. I linked them the first time thinking that would work. When you guys said something, I just saved them to my hard drive then uploaded them to my posts.......

Hence the little edit lines...

lol.. since this has been here a few days, I am gonna move it over to the review board, so those who may not visit over here can see it also.

79gmcc15 · 08-10-2005, 04:56 AM

yeah yeah make fun of the young kid!

Mudder · 08-10-2005, 11:35 AM

Looks like that would be great using with California Customs Purple.

shifty · 08-12-2005, 10:44 AM

I have been constantly seeing this product in all the magazines I pick up. The before and after results are pretty staggering - you can do the same amount of polishing in 15 minutes with this thing that would take at least 2 hours with just hand polishing.

The product is said to work really good with trim, valve covers and other things of that nature.

formulafire99 · 08-23-2005, 05:21 AM

My brother bought 2 of them,I guess he wanted a spare.They really are great and work wonders with all different types of polishing compound.It made his wheels look near new again.
