Hi Autogeek Family,

I am interested in purchasing a polishing ball/cone to attach onto a power drill for faster polishing of metals. Im stuck between Chemical Guys Ball Buster, Mothers Powerball, and the Flitz line of balls. I know how to clean the metal first and then polish with duragloss metal polish + 0000 steel wool. My results are great however id like to cut down my work time if possible.

Thanks,
Brian

You're better off getting an aluminum polishing kit similar to what harbor freight sells. I have the meguiars dynacone and it works faster than hand but still falls short in tight areas. Felt bobs and cotton buffs are probably you're best option.

Thank you! I found it for $18.99 on their website. Has 14 different pieces to get the job done! I will be ordering this tonight.

Flitz and their ball are pretty awesome. Haven't used the others

I do metal polishing with Tripoli compound for most applications. A flexible shaft attachment is most used tool in my arsenal. Small wheels (as small as 1") and backing plates really cut down on time spent. Knowing what can be removed by what (only trial and error) will greatly reduce time spent.
