im sure this is a dumb question, but do you guys use this for wheels and what not? i was thinking it would be good for using like aio on wheels and like a wheel sealant instead of doing them by hand. also, you could use this for like polishing exhausts right? thanks

I use it on the uncoated billet aluminum wheels on my V-Rod with great success. I love it and wouldn`t want to detail my motorcycle without it. You can use it on exhaust pipes/tips as well. Just make sure you choose an appropriate polish for the application.
I recommend the smaller one that Autogeek offers.

Should have offered it for sale on Abay. I have been looking to try it and might have taken it off your hands.

I tried it and was totally unimpressed, didn`t fit in small spaces and would grab at places, it was easier work by hand. I found the Flitz ball to be much better.

There is a new, smaller size Powerball, that looks like it might be better for wheel spokes, etc. I haven`t tried either one, tho.

I don`t think I got rid of the trash bag yet. If I find it, it`s yours just pay me for shipping...
It`s time for me to give back to the people who make my life easier :p

The bolts would probably tear the foam up.

Would using a polish with the powerball help take out STUBBORN (clay wouldn`t take it off) brake dust?
