Mothers Power Ball & polish

**froll** · 02-09-2007, 05:18 AM

This may seem like a stupid question but here goes. Just got the PB combo. I'll wash and dry the rims first then plan to use the PB + the Mother's polish. Does this polish work like wheel wax or is this simply a polish/shine product? Wheel wax works well in repelling brake dust but its a pia to use. I'm hoping the PB will make it easier but still would like the protection of a wax. Thanks

I've used the powerball combo on a set of Weld Rodlites and it really cuts down on polishing time. The Mothers polish leaves a nice smooth feel, but I believe it is just freshly polished aluminum. I usually go back with a thin coat of #16 after using the combo. Then I'm washing the vehicle with ONR regularly so that helps the longevity of the shine. Hope this helps.

If you want to add protection, get the DP or Poorboys Wheel Glaze. The polish in the Mothers kit is a metal polish and really doesnt offer alot of protection, more abrasive (fine) to remove oxidation.

I love my Mini Powerball !!!!!!

sealant 2nd actually ... a wax could not withstand the heat wheels produce.

the PB works great on almost everything, minus paint. i use it for my tail pipes, wheels, and window marks (sometimes). likewise, you can use it a lot around the house.

i usually use a metal polish on my wheels and they come out looking pretty decent, for OEM wheels, that is.
