Mothers PowerBall System question...

[Webb]

For you guys that already purchased and used it,How long do you thing that will last if I use it weekly ?

Thank you

There's a lot of variables here....are you using it to shine a chrome bumper or remove rust & corrosion from rough surfaced alloy wheels with small slots in them? One would be easy on it, the other not.

I don't have an answer but you can extend the life of it by removing it from the shaft (10mm wrench) and putting it back on the opposite way each time you clean it.

I was thinking mainly for the wheel,but then I could do it by hand would take more time but I guess would give the same result ?

I was thinking about giving it a try myself. How do you maintain the powerball? Can you throw it in the wash-n-machine like MF towels? Does it last a while?

i think the packaging label says to wash with any household dishwashing liquid and set aside to air dry

Quick take:

It's very easy to wash in the sink with a little dish detergent, came clean very quickly and it was black
when I started.

I put the small powerball through the paces with some stock Honda wheels recently, without taking them off of the car. It started to shred a bit on the first wheel due to hitting the brake rotor but it didn't self destruct. Did a darn good job using the supplied polish but I'll take the wheels off next time and do it right.

FWIW did a Toyota truck that had extremely yucky, rusty, nasty chrome bumpers. I started with steel wool and polish getting nowhere. Brought out the Powerball and got the front and rear both done in about 20 minutes...they looked like new! I'd still be out there doing it by hand and frankly I doubt it would have come out as well.

Ebay yielded the best deal after shopping the local stores.

Right,I was between The Mother's PowerBall and Foam Gun from AutoGeek.So I decided to go for a PowerBall.
