Was okay the first couple times I used it, but it began to degrade after a while, i saw better results by hand

My Mothers power ball fell apart with red dust everywhere. It was only 6 months old and stored in it's plastic case. I thought it might save my back a little which it did for 3 uses .....not worth it :Plugged:

The mini one works great, but I have never tried it on a vehicle.

I had a mini powerball I used on my 20's for about 3 uses...haven't touched it since as it has fallen apart. It worked alright. It didn't provide any better results than what I could have done by hand. All it did was speed up the time I spend polishing by hand....3x that is....

mainly the lip of my wheels the center is black, but I tend to stick to mothers products or 3M for detail work. But if there is something that you find better im always willing to try it

mine is sitting on the shelf... i always think i might use it for something.... but no, that day never comes, when i want to shine up the wheels i spend 30-45 minutes PER wheel with mothers aluminum polish.... now THAT shit gets the job done, that and LOTS of elbow greese
Powerball breaks up, bottom line. Piece of shit. Mine's shelved until the day comes around when I'm REALLY lazy.

We have been selling the Chemical Guys Ball Buster (http://www.glimmerglassdetailing.com/babususpbuwh.html) and everyone who has purchased it has come back and indicated it worked better than all the others they have tried. I have used it as well and actually prefer using it than the cone style as all the cone versions seem to be made with a different material and appear to be a cheaper version (caveat - I have not put my hands on the Autogeek version.
Additionally, we are selling the CG Ball Buster for nearly 50% right now. :)

Bought a mini this weekend along with some mothers mag polish. Worked more than fine for my polished wheels which took a beating over the winter with salt/sand everywhere.

No signs of wear, red dust, etc. Just took it apart and washed it with liquid dish soap and water, put it up to dry. If it only lasts for 4 uses before I have to pitch it, that'd be just fine. I'm done polishing anything as large as wheels by hand. Just not worth the time vs. spending a few bucks.
