is it me, or does that thing suck?
tried it on my Weld Drag Lites, and went back to hand method with the aluminum cleaner

the powerball started to come apart, and i even used it per the direction with the powerball aluminum cleaner too

ohhh well

If you used it on an edge that is probably what caused it.

yeah i agree, i was careful with it
and the commercials show it being used inbetween the edges of a rim, so i was surprised by it

either that, or that liquid powerball cleaner just sucks

That's because you have to use it on Foose wheels...like the commercial says.

it wont do much at all for IROC wheels. Only thing it will really help is getting into the little cracks and corners and keeping them clean. Besides, they are clear coated, those are the easiest to keep clean....soap and water.

I can shred most any material while cleaning my rims. I have the flat-faced 91-92 RS rims, but with the clearcoat removed. Makes for some nice sharp corners all over the place.

so it takes the clear coat off the wheels? how does it do with the paint on the wheels? my car is white and i have the same wheels as u and they are painted white but really dirty. will this thing mess up the paint on the wheels?

well i have been looking at all the stores i go to and have called 15 auto parts stores and they all say they have not gotten it yet. man where are you guys getting yours at?

Oh, no...I removed the clearcoat on the rims because some genius before me decided to lay down a really thick nasty paint job over the rims. The only way to could remove the old paint was to remove the clearcoat along with it. I've not heard of the powerball hurting anything yet.
