WOW! The Powerball is Awesome!

Here is a pic of my grille after about an hour of some serious polishing with my Mother's Powerball and some Wenol polish! I wish I had a before pic...my grille looked almost white! I got a can of my favorite paint (Satin Black Krylon Fusion...which is the best match Ive found for the original underhood black out there...and it sprays sooooo easily!) and cleaned my radiator support and radiator and PRESTO! It looks like new!! Now if only I could do the same with the body....

Wenol is great. Try it on your side molding.

Re: WOW! The Powerball is Awesome!

You guys should count your blessings. My Powerball is the biggest waste of money in recent memory. I was unable to get it to polish ANYTHING, and then it fell apart! I lose a little respect for Chip Foose every time I see his face next to one in a magazine. It's a simple concept, can't imagine what I would be doing wrong. It's big selling point is that it's supposedly so simple to use. Very disappointed!

Re: WOW! The Powerball is Awesome!

I prefer the powerball mini...it doesn't seem to get ripped up as bad as the big powerball on details in rims. If you want one that won't rip apart, look for a FLITZball.
