Anybody ever use the mother's or flitz polishing ball to shine up their X? I am thinking about getting it to do my wheels.




Article from web site----Polishing a little area like your headlight lens doesn’t require a huge polisher. You could actually abrade the surrounding paint unintentionally. Hand polishing is more practical, but it can get messy. All you need is the new PowerBall Polishing Tool from Mothers.

Mothers PowerBall is a ball of dense foam that allows you to use your electric drill as a variable speed polisher. Perfect for any small surface, the PowerBall will give you better results than what you can achieve by hand. This patent-pending detailing tool is made of professional grade closed-cell foam that is soft and highly absorbent. The sturdy foam does not collapse flat against the surface of your vehicle; it maintains its shape to provide a soft cushion between your vehicle and the drill bit. The ball is composed of dozens of foam tabs that conform to curved surfaces and provide gentle polishing power to any surface.

The PowerBall is a great value because you can actually use all it’s sides. When the bottom of the ball becomes worn, just remove the retaining washer and bit, and attach them to the other side of the ball. The shape of the PowerBall allows you to turn the ball as needed without worrying about backing plates. The foam tabs can be pressed into crevices where flat foam pads can’t reach. The PowerBall combines the best of hand polishing and machine polishing without any of the drawbacks so you get fast, professional results.

Mothers PowerBall can be used with any variable speed drill for expert polishing right where you need it. Use it to polish metal wheels and bumpers, headlight lens covers, motorcycle components, and anything else that is too small for a full-size mechanical polisher.

In addition to metal surfaces, the PowerBall can be used to clean and restore clear plastic and glass. Use it with a premium plastic polish on headlight lens covers, boat windshields, uncoated motorcycle windscreens, clear vinyl convertible top windows, and clear plastic instrument panels. Use the PowerBall with DP Glass Restorer to remove water spots, scratches, haze, and stubborn contamination from automotive or household glass. There’s no end to the uses of the PowerBall!

You don't say.........do you happen to know what the MSRP on this item would be:confused:

It's about $20.00-$30.00. It should be at a wal-mart or an automotive parts store.

It's about $20.00-$30.00. It should be at a wal-mart or an automotive parts store. 18 bucks and change at WalMart. I hear nothing but good stuff about these things.
Little brother bought one and he liked it so I may try it out.

Ah man?!!

Now I have to go to Walmart. Thats not as painless as it sounds... Because If I go anywhere, my wife will want to know where Im going. Then She'll want to go too. Then she will take 3 hours to get ready, and when we finally get to the store, I'll have to wade through every perfume aisle and brassiere department only to find that what I went there for in the first place is out of stock.:schla24:

I actually have one of these. I adore it, especially when paired up with my Ryobi 18V cordless drill. I used it on my truck wheels, and now on the Xterra wheels, as well as on the wife's G35 wheels. It cut cleaning time down to virtually nil.

Additionally if you have really bad bug smears and spotting on the front of your vehicle, add a little wax/polish/bug and tar remover to the mother's ball, and rub it all right off the front.
