How to clean a mothers powerball?

[Paulie Walnuts]

I am teaching a kid across the street how to detail and today we used a powerball on some bad chrome rims. We used the powerball and Megs NXT all metal polish. Turned out pretty good although Im afraid we did scratch the rims somewhat. Anyways how do you clean this product?

Not sure if it's proper or not, but I've soaked it in a bucket of apc/water with my pads and rinsed it just the same. Once its soaked, just keep squeezing it under running water and it rinses fairly well.

I haven't found a good way, I washed mine in the sink with Dawn but didn't really get it clean.

soak the sucker in Dawn dissolver for 15 min and then do a regular dawn wash.

Yeah I was going to try some Castrol degreaser but I did that with an applicator earlier this week and when I came back it literally ate the whole thing, it was gone, just mushy goo.

I find it hard to believe that that takes paint off. You can get it at Walmart.

Hi Wlliam try some of this. You can buy a gallon or quart.

Might want to try Chemical Guys



Heavy Duty Degreaser



Glad you changed your profile. That takes class.

I dunno... Plain hot water always cleaned mine off real easily.

Hot water with a bit of Dawn added if you really need it



I've used mine on nasty aluminum wheels and cleaned it with Dawn and hot water in about 15 minutes.

What PRB said. I use mine on aluminum wheels, valve covers, etc. and wash with Gain laundry soap and warm water. Rinse and some gentle squeezing of the ball and hang it on a pegboard for final drying.

I have found hot water the real secret as well. APC or Dawn helps once you get the dried crud soft again.
