MOTHERS Makes a polishing ball you put on a drill. Kick butt too! I've seen them at shucka auto for around 35 duckets

Yes you did, I bought the mothers Power ball. It worked great the first time I used it but after that unless you wash it and get all the black out of the foam it's not so great anymore and you still need to hand polish when done to get a good shine. It does work good for getting rid of the sandblasted look then follow up by hand with some good old fashioned elbow grease. Your welcome to borrow mine if you like, they are kinda spendy,cost like 30.00 bucks new.

Head down to Shucks, get yourself a small Mothers Powerball, a can of Mothers Polish, hook the Powerball to your drill, put alittle polish on the ball and let the drill do all the work. You can do a set of wheels in 10 minutes or less. Mothers Powerball costs about $20.00. To clean the ball, squirt some dawn dishwashing soap on it and work it in, rinse with warm water and let air dry. Best $20.00 I've ever spent, works great [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

They were on sale on Shucks for $20.00. Just squirt dawn dishwashing soap and work it in, rinse it off, it comes clean like brand new. Of course, after multiple uses, it will get worn down alittle and if you let it get too black and dry, it won't come very clean. I used it on my tractor wheels, worked great and it's alot faster than by hand. I don't like to polish by hand, way too much work, besides, my scrawny wrists get sore and tired [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]
