Yup it did the same for my draglights I picked up. I just need a stronger drill to spin it faster and see if the results are improved.

The Drill I have is an 18volt Ryobi. It spins pretty fast may try and chuck it up in my die grinder and see what the results are then, if it dont fly apart spinning at 25k rpm

The recomended max on the is 2000 OPMs, what metal polish did you use? I used mother metal polish (red plastic bottle). I was impressed to say the least.

I was kidding about the die grinder.

I used the Mother's Polish in the little red tub.

I also used some Wenol on one of the rears and I dont think it cut as well, may try and use it as a final polish.

Where are you guys getting them from? Every auto part store I've been to has Mother's products, but not the power ball. When you ask the clerk, u get the deer in the headlight look.

I got mine from Advance Auto Parts, It was two shelves above all the polish and stuff. Almost didn't find it.

Stuff like the Ding King will work, but people have to realize that it won't make it perfect again, and wont be able to pull out real small dents. A lot of people dont realize this and get mad when they wasted $xx.xx on a product to not have it work the way it's advertised.

Your rims look good. I think any kind of metal polish would have gotten then back to that. I used this stuff called heavy metal polish on an old bullett form a military plane and it turned it from dull to mirror. Stuff works great, easy on, easy off and waxes it too.

I agree with the metal polish, just this takes lots less elbow grease. I am a lazy MOFO.
