for my wheels I used a cordelss 18V Ryobi drill withe spare batteries.

 

Thanks for all the positive feedback on this product. Based on this feedback I just ordered me a powerball mini . I only have polished lips and I figured the mini would work better.

 

I applied the Nanowax with an applicator pad and let it haze over. Then I hit it with the Buff Ball and then i wiped off the remaining thin layer of residue with a microfiber cloth. I started at 7 and finished at midnight, but that includes stopping for dinner and more than a few water breaks. It works great on the body of the car. It's capable of being used on all surfaces, so i gave it a shot. works for me!

I used a corded drill for the extra torque and so i wouldnt have to keep recharing the battery on my Makita Cordless drill. I know that with the amount of speed I was using (almost full throttle the entire time) the cordless battery (at least mine anyway) wouldnt have made it too long.

 

Got my mini-power ball in the mail today. I went staight out and polished my lips using the Meguires polish and man does it work great. I only have polished lips and the mini is the ticket

 

Oh yea, I forgot to add that I used my Porter Cable 19.2V cordless and had no problem getting all the wheels done on 1 battery. I have 3 batteries and 2 chargers so I am never out of juice.

 

Where did you get a mini? I am in the same boat I just need to do my lips. I'm actually going to try it today with teh reg powerball and see how it comes out.

 

So morris couple last questions since i'm going to try it today.

1st.- what spd on your drill. hi?
2nd- how much do you apply on the powerball? I was going to use the power metal that it came with.
3rd- You said you wiped off the residue with a mircofiber right nothing else .?

Thanx in advance.

 

I found the results to be less than impressive. The ball was just too big to get in the interior part of the lips. There is another product I may try, if I can find the link I will post it

 

I have seen the min on ebay I think.

I used hi speed on the drill
I used enough to keep the ball moist, not sure if that helps much but your gonna just have to play with it.

Yup microfiber and nothing else.

Again this isnt going to get out any real scratches or heavy oxidation, but it will clean them up nicley as long as they arent in too bad of a condition.

 

well, This product does work nice but I need the mini, I can't really clean inbetween the spokes well. I tried it on my intercooler 1st and it did a very nice job on that. When I tried the wheels it didn't flex enough to get inbetween my spokes and the lips but I could see just from a quick use that it work great once I get the mini. Thanx to all for the help and advice.

 

A,

See link for mini. Not sure it's the best price, though. Anyway:

yup i was just about to post it today that autobarn carries it. I was at their store last night and saw it there...

 

Sorry I forgot to update this thread, I found the Mini at Pepboys for 19 bucks. I used it on my lips where I had a tough sweat stain and it it took it right out, I was very happy with it. I didn't use it on all my lips yet cuz they don't need but where I did use it it worked very well.

 

doesn't contour as much as I would like.
I added too much polish.
Battery died.

All in all my powerball experienced sucked.

 

bump for more feedback

has anyone else used this for their entire car?
