has anyone tried this product, im gonna buy it today but id like to know if anyone has it or thinks it sucks or what . It looks like a great idea, i polished two wheels last night and took about 1.5 hrs to do both and its just a pita, it i can use power im all for it .

 

Yeah dude, its worth it. My buddy whos big into auto detailing got one and it cut my time shining my rims by over a half.

there is more info on it, even a video.

This is good to see, i have polished formula wheels on my 91, and it is a chore to keep them shiney.

 

Wow.. I am impressed.

However, the video... thats retarded!

When will people listen and NOT ENCODE IN QUICKTIME!

Most useless codec ever, WMV or at least a Xvid AVI would be 1 million times better than that junk. The Quicktime video is in such a low resolution, I had to move to 1/4 inch in front of my screen to even be able to make out anything.

Also.. I wonder if it will polish plastic too.

 

Now that looks like something I could use.

 

i am deffy gonna buy one of these. i think it will make it much easier to do rims , and its even possible to do rims at a car show and stuff . Looks really easy . Does anyone know any stores that have these yat. I checked advance auto and they dont have it .

 

I'd like to get one also!

 

This thing looks interesting. Almost like that Flitz ball. I wonder how good it "really" works...does it beat the ol' fashion elbow grease?

Murrays Auto Parts by me has it...It was like $15 or so.

 

The magazine ad says that it does plastics

 

15 bucks, ive only seen it for 30 on ebay and one other place for 30 .

 

Yeah...I know it wasn't $30...$20 at MOST

 

$25 at my local murrays. much nicer then the flitz ball as far as the softness. would not use it as a final detailer though as it still scratches really soft show polish on aluminum. however it does cut down time by 1/4 which is nice. i would recommend it for the basic fact it cuts time down but don't expect it to leave a mirror perfect shine. you still have to put some elbowgrease in things sometimes.

also, invest in their metal polish for the ball. tried using my $13 4 0z. jar of billet polish with the ball and it does not work as it takes too much to use properly.

this is another key point maybe try using a better liquid polish then what they sell for the power ball and it might work better.

 

Sounds like I'll stick to the billet w/ my hand ...also, I've used compound on some buffs to get it REALLY shiny...then just clean it up w/ Billet...

 

ah poop, i dont want it to scratch and i was under the inmpreesion that i would be able to use it as the only step in doing the rims . I guess ill just have to get one and see how it works.

 

Found one at O'reilly's for 25, didnt get it yet but plan too

 

Amazon.com also sells them....

Not sure it would count towards the free shipping offer if you got the order up to $25.00?

dang, 30 with shipping isnt sounding so good esp if i have to wait to get it . thanks trista.

 

20 bucks at VIP is where my buddy got his.

 

i have 1 of these.. they are AWESOME!!!

 

Im going to buy one real soon. One of my recent magazine's that came in they did a test with the power ball and they were amazed they said it took them 5 mins a wheel to do what used to take them 45mins. Im going to get the power ball and polish my wheels then i am going to zoop seal them so i dont have to mess with them for awile.

 

so what kind of polish should i get .

 

how long do they last before you have to buy another?

 

It can be washed and reused countless times before showing any signs of wear.=quote from the 1st link in the thread

 

Mothers sells a polish made for use with the power ball called "Power Metal".

I looked for one of these at Parts America with no luck

We probably won't get them in Canada until 2007.

 

and countless times = ?

 

The problem is that QuickTime is optimized for quality, not size... DivX, XviD, WMV and the others are all optimized for better size.

Where QT excels is for large clips, since when you've got something fullscreen you don't want the artifacts that WMV introduces.

The idiot making it probably just didn't take the time to tweak it enough to get good quality, or wanted an obscenely low filesize.

 

2 times

 

Lol, probably

 

well are their any better liquid metal polishes that the mothers power kinda. Ive only used mothers billet polish so im not familiar with the kinda id have to use and whatever.
