Chrome or paint works for me!

People that know me, know I have a shiny stuff affliction. Billet and polished stainless everywhere. So, this comes from the been there, done that file. If you haven't tried Mother's Powerball yet, your polishing the hard way. $22. to $24., washable and reuseable. I need a half hour, the Powerball and portable drill and some Mother's Billet polish and me and my wheels are smilin again. You NEED a Powerball. Period.

And No,... Foose ain't a family member.

Somewhere in the archives of this site there is a long discussion all about polishing aluminum and other metals as well as chromed parts. One of the guys had a web site to go to for all kinds of detailed info on the subject but I don't remember what the web address was, but it was very good info and one of the things I remember reading on that site was a very long involved report about what NOT to use on aluminum. Many polishes,waxes,and cleaners contain anhydrous or some derivative of anhydrous amonia that will over time ruin aluminum,so always take time to read the label on your car care products. There was a ton of other info on the site about metal and paint care and it was some of the most interesting reading I've found. They sold metal polishes etc. but the info was not a sales pitch for the stuff they sold. If anyone remembers the web site put it up here for all to go to. Thanks for the time.

p.s. Where can I find the new "Power Ball"?

Find the Mothers Powerball at www.mothers.com Go to the news section to read about it.

I purchased mine from www.summitracing.com Enter mothers powerball in the search bar.

Guys- as much as i would like to go back and forth with this discussion, i just will not have time today. I will, however, add a couple comments to this discussion.

If one were to use our Zoopshine metal polish prior to application of ZoopSeal, a much brighter appearance will be the result. Although we have not extensively advertised our Zoopseal CAR CARE PRODUCT LINE, They are of the best quality and offer the best ease of use one could hope for. The Zoopshine metal polish is VERY easy to use and requires a minimum of rubbing. The Diamond Luster car wax has a super high content of carnauba wax, that our formulator actually grinds up, and is without a doubt the best polish i have ever tried. OK, i'm partial, obviously, but i'm an old dude that has tried everything out there already and i don't like to work hard anymore. This Zoopseal car care line has been formulated per my requirements. Read some of the comments on our website from people that have tried the stuff-heck we even supply the Metal Polish and Diamond Luster to the Riverside California Fire Department. They love it for their diamond plate which if too much reubbing is required to polish, it tears up their rags and fingers.

So take it for what its worth, but our ZoopSeal car care line is way above the current brands on the market.

Thank you all for your time--

I have had the Mothers Powerball for bout 2 months. It's been washed a couple of times and well used. It's holding up very well and continues to make short work of a dreadfull job. Just go buy one. I promise, you will be amazed at how well it works. Remember, the quality of your efforts depend on the quality of your polish. Mothers works for me.

My brother bought me a set of Polished Alum. wheels for my 34 last year, The first time I got them wet I was sick to say the least, and wore out from tring to get the spots out. Got the Mothers Powerball and Wax from Summit and they look new again without the soreness in my hands and arms. "I'm Sold" I did see the same powerball at Auto Zone about $5.00 cheaper than Summit.
