Polishing in tight grooves
I am going over my rims now that it's sunny out and I'm using my powerball,mother aluminum polish.Now I have some tight spots to get to that the powerball will not reach.I pulled out my dremil with the polishing tips and it works but I would like to know if you guys use a different method before I buy more tips for the dremil.

Are you using the standard Powerball, or the Powerball Mini?? Might look into the Mini on those wheels...

On sharp edges (like 90s), I just use a terrycloth wrapped around a small, square piece of wood or plastic. Granted.. I don't use power tools which, would probably result in a better finish..

The powerball mini is awsome!It gets all the small grooves really fast.Here is a before and after.I bought these rims used with 4 years of gunk on them so when I finish I'm going to zoop seal'em.I'm actually going to pull each wheel and spend a lot of time on them but this was to see what works best.
