I searched and didn’t really find much - anyone have one? I have some pretty intricate crevices in my rims and it takes 20 minutes a piece to 'truly' get them clean. If this works it would certainly be worth the 25 bucks.

I hate polishing my rims by hand.

I've seen these power ***** everywhere. They really work?

They get into all the crevices where you don't have to go back by hand and wipe down to get the spots they missed? Almost seems impossible to me?

If they do work that well,.. what is the general method of use? Use wheel cleaner with them? Use wax? Polish?

They attach to any standard drill/cordless or corded it seems, and everyone makes one, from Walmart 5.99$ to Expensive brands of 49.99.

Different sizes as well, what size do you like to use?

Sorry man, it turned out that Mother's Chrome Polish was SUPER effective on the chrome trim/wheels. I returned it because of that. I did, however do a dry test on the brake dust on my RX though(woot for skinny asian fingers ). Got rid of it pretty easily I have to say

My recommendation is use it IF its needed, most of the time a little effort will get rid of the stuff thats on the chrome

EDIT: Keep in mind that the small version sold in stores will not fit every nook and cranny of whatever you are doing. Its semi hard foam, not super soft stuff

No you don't...you love it

Haven't tried the either of the powerballs yet, but I do use Liquid Glass Polish. It works wonders on the chrome and my wheel faces. Lot of elbow grease though would love to try it with a powerball.

It was a good pickup to add to my detailing arsenal. I originally used it to help clear my headlights but I also use for polishing the wheels as another member mentioned.
