if you can afford it.. BUY IT!!!! 10 out of 10.. I LOVE IT
I have the ball 2 and the cone. Just used the cone a few days ago on my semi wheels as they were just starting to get a bit hazy and speckled. I cleaned them off with a bit of dish soap and a clean rag. Took my little round terry applicator and lightly coated the whole wheel with mothers, applied a fair amount to my cone and went to town. Only areas I had to hand polish were between the lugs and the lip. Took another clean microfiber wiped and buffed all the residue off, and my wheels were shining like a mirror. I finished up with a bit of griot garages spray wax to leave a nice protective layer. Only took me about 10 minutes per wheel, about an hour and some for all six.
I typically use the big ball for things like my bumper or aluminum toolboxes. Works pretty good on big flat surfaces. I much prefer the cone for my wheels.
Use a variable speed polish sander and an airway buff orange wheel and a Tripoli brown bar as a cut . That will take all the scratches out . Followed by yellow airway and green bar that will make it look like chrome ! I’m a professional polisher from louisiana
yeah, but that set up costs a lot of money.. you also need the special power tool… I have to polish my old semi wheels and the pro kit is $150 plus I have to buy that high speed tool. this is just a budget video that anyone can do.
I use a product called Never Dull for polishing! Love it!
Grab a bag of cheap x-large shorty socks at the dollar store and pull it over your power ball, terry looking side out. If you happen to wear through it, just pitch it and put on another.
I’m gonna do that
Glad I found your vid, I'm doing the same wheels right now. Hot water, Fast Orange and Dawn will get the power ball clean, if you work the soap into the sponge with your hands. Mine looks near new when done.
I have the same set of rims on my tj they need a good polish great video thanks
You could get those way better bud they could be a miorror finish get u a grinder and buffer wheel and the yellow red and white bars and really hit those they would turn out beautiful
Dawn soap and water soon as your done polishing cleans that ball spotless. 😊
The only good thing the Powerball is good for is if your wheels are already clean and polished as you use the Powerball to maintain the wheel.
Ima do a set of big rig wheels with this in a bit, see how that goes. I have both the blue polish and the red mothers. I also like the blue better
semi wheels need a special kit if they are rough.. I have to do some too. But not like this
just watched the other video and commented. i've been using steel wool vs. 1000gr. because i have steel wool and save paper for paint. great info. Thanks.
Danish cookies in the background! Yes!!😁👍🙏
I need to get me some of those. Been awhile.
"if you're old fashion and don't like change" 😂 that's me
But he switched up from mother to another real quick!! Lmao 😂 jk great job.
Try Mother’s Billet Metal Polish , Thanks for the video Chris
We fear change - Garth smashes the shit outa a rubber hand
I will have to try blue magic. I have always used Mothers. Not a fan of the first power ball.
If you're an old fashioned Guy and you don't like change, that's me ... too
Nice info, thanks for sharing.
Looks good, will one tub of the Bluemagic do four wheels?
o yeah
How’s the 1970 chevelle coming out? Did you finish it? Want to hear it run.👍🏼 later.
Best way I've found to wash it is to use a bucket of water/dish soap and spin it with the drill. It'll get 99% of the black out of it.
Good video thank you
Thanks!!
Damn not bad ima try this out on my baby billets,. 👌🏼
Just got a set from a friend. But no center cap. Can u help with the size of center cap? Please help
I looked up the wheel and bought a center cap.. I didn’t just put any cap on it.. mine are ar172 and summit sells the caps
Try flitz wheel polish I’ve used both of those polishes and I personally like flitz better
請問使用的是什麼東西
How about clear coating them as a last process? Be worth it?
no.. clear coat is for painted wheels only..
@@chriscraft77022 Alumaclear and kbs coating are two companies that sell quality clear coat products that you can apply on polished aluminum
Ceramic coat works perfect, IF you apply it correctly
@@imfrom210texas Good info 👌.
How do the center caps fasten?
Push through style
I know I’m getting off subject , but what size tires are you running ? Is that a 15” rim ? Looks nice
15x10” AR172 they still sell them new ( American racing ) tire is 33” x 12.5”
We old gs don't like change deffenetly
What brand tire carrier/bumper do you have?
I have a video on restoring it I say the name in beginning.. I don’t remember now
@@chriscraft77022 thanks.
Good video here. I'm going to dress up some Pro Star drag wheels on my Camaro.
Thanks.
