i was wondering if anybody has ever used it or seen it in action and how good it works, because ive got some real oxidized wheels that are in need of help! and what kinda of cleaner would i need?

What kinda rims are they? Got any pics? My rims were terrible, so I went to a local Do It Yourself garage, and used an aluminum-safe sandblaster. It cost me $15 for the hour, instead of the $80 shops were gonna charge me.

i have the reg and mini powerball and love it. i have high polished 16x8 champ 500s and it works killer. just get a multi speed drill as thats the main key to eliminating splater.
put some polish on the wheel, work it in, a lil more polish and work another section and then do this about 3 times or so and then wipe it down. Foose is right, it dosent take long but being yours are oxidized it will take a lil longer. the mini power fits right in the hols on my wheels and makes things that much easier.

It does a really good job with keeping my wheels looking new. You still will need some elbowing here and there. I reccomend it for sure...

Mother's sells Power Metal polish. I believe it is intended specifically for the Power Ball. Works good too.

iv'e seen chip foose use it on tv, so it must be good.

I have the big power ball and found it not to be to useful on wheels. Plus it's a bitch to clean.

The mini works better in tight areas but the regular works well too. Use it with the mothers aluminum polish. Here is a spot I did on my rims for about 1 minute.

Iroc_man

jak2908

I only paid 650 for the wheels used from Kairles on the boards. They're usually 300 a piece, from Centerline. They're called Sundance Lazers. I am running 18X9 on all 4 and 2 small ( I think about an 1/8th of an inch spacers on the front to cover the spindle nut dust cover).I have gotten most of the 4 years of grime off but am still trying to polish them up like new. Thanks for the compilmenets.

Navy, its time to hit the home depot store near ya and take advantage of their $40 specials they usually runon cordless units. cant go wrong, there all quality units.

That's like my friend growing up who would buy video games when he didn't have a system! But he got one for Christmas! Just ask Santa ... or go get you a drill with a cord for less than you paid for the powerball!

navy02ws6

Yeah, I really have no excuse...I'd just rather spend $40 on new power window switches to replace the ones that fell into my console.

The powerball is awesome i use it on my wheels all the time. I have to buy the mini soon, looks like it would be alot easier to use on my wheels.

The mini is awesome! Although mine exploded into a big red/black foam shower. I am getting another one. I have the regular powerball but it doesn't work in all the tight grooves on my wheels.
