Powerball

bynummustang · Apr 17, 2006

It works like chit. I hate it, and it doesn't work worth a flip.

I thought my cobra rims wouldn't be too intricate, but it didn't get even near the corners.

Sorry to hear it's not working for you. I started using it last summer and I love it. I have Weld Magnums and they used to take me 1.5 hours a wheel to shine by hand. Now I use the powerball for about 15 minutes then finish up the small areas with a small cloth.

are you using any cleaning compound with it? You are not using it right if you are not able to get your rims clean with it...I had rims that I have been "trying" to clean by hand for months, the powerball put them in back to new shape in about a minute apiece.

Where the powerball got was fine, the other 60% is still horrible, and it won't fit into those areas.

they make a mini one...is it the cobra replica rims that you are trying to clean?

I agree it is a POS.

It worked great on a set of dragwelds I had. I geuss when you have small crevises it won't work to well.

What size rims are those backspacing, ect, ect? and where did you buy them?

I used it last weekend on my rims. I will admit the big one does not work if you need to get in small spaces. But it works great on eveerything else. I am still looking for the small one but no luck yet. My fiance's dad has a meat delivery truck that has a lot of diamond plating and aluminum trim on it. By the time i finished it all with the powerball and the mothers polish. It looked better than when he got it from the dealership. I mean it went from a dull grey to a almost chrome like finish.

Powerball + Mothers aluminum& Mag polish= awesome

My rims are the 16" cobra replicas, (they came with the car) I got the powerball and mag/AL polish, the powerball is ****ty.

I have 17" cobra replicas...cleaned with the powerball with some chrome polish...shined as good as new...maybe you need a faster drill?

Wytsang, they are weld Magnums, 18x8 in front and 18x9.5 in the back. I think the backspacing is +6 but Weld did all that for me. i went through Discount Tire to get them because I was stationed in Germany at the time. it took about 6 weeks to get them because Weld custom builds them for your application. I love em and they are so well balanced there have been times no weight was needed when I bought new tires. They are polished aluminum (no chrome or clearcoat) and weigh about 18lbs for the front and 19.5lbs for the rears.

98StangV8, that was me at Talleywood last year. i can't make it this year because I'll be deployed by then but that was a fun show. i still remember the firebird I was parked next to with the Bass boat metalflake paint and crushed velvet interior (whoa).

I don't know the specs on my drill, but in the corners on the spokes it wouldn't even fit.

shallowreef · Apr 19, 2006

in tight spaces your right it sucks but overall i think it rocks.

GoofNOff · Apr 19, 2006

Wystang; thanks for the props, I'm trying to keep her looking good.
