We all love keeping things simple, and we all love things that work well. Mothers Polish released the popular PowerBall in 2005, and the success of that drill-mounted polisher led to the production of the PowerBall Mini. The smaller polisher can easily reach into confined areas that the original cannot. The Mini also comes with a drill bit extender, which makes it easier to reach in areas not previously accessible because of the drill's limitations.

In conjunction with the PowerBall and Mini, Mothers Polish has a specially formulated liquid polishing compound, named PowerMetal, to use with the PowerBall. The best results are found with an old set of aluminum wheels that have not been polished or well taken care of. After just a few minutes with the PowerBall, our old set of polished Centerline wheels looked great, and the lack of elbow grease required made it worth the $40 investment. The major shortcoming of the kit is the need of a drill; although, most enthusiasts do own at least one. You can polish your wheels with the understanding that they will look much better-not to the caliber of a professional cleaning and polishing like found in "Mag Masterpiece," on page 110-but much better, nevertheless. Check out how easy it was for us to polish our wheels in less than 30 minutes.
