Mothers Polishing Ball

Saw this thing on tv and was wondering it it was worth a try. I have billet aluminum wheels and that thing looks like it would make it alot easier to polish the wheels other then doing them by hand. I have heard and experienced that microfiber towels work best when polishing wheels, does the buff ball fell similar to a mirofiber towel?

OReily Auto parts carries them, it is a foam ball. Looks like it will be fine to use, you can buff with it and remove the metal polish with a MF towel.....

Re: Mothers Polishing Ball

I have been using one to polish my wheels recently. It works very well. I used the "ball" only to do the inside of the wheels. I used it on the outside as well, but also went over the outside with a MF towel and Mothers Billet Polish. The duo makes an unbelieveble difference. I use Flitz on the ball, then finish up by hand with Mothers billet polish. THe ball does a great job on large surface areas, but it is difficult to get into the little "nooks & crannies". I have Bonspeed Crokus wheels in the five spoke version.

As you can see there are some hard to reach areas.

Well, they have Chip Foose doing ads for it and he used it on the Caddy SRX he built with custom 1-off wheels. Sounds good to me. I'll give it a try.
