I had to replace a couple American Racing wheels and the ones I found were in pretty bad shape. I used the mini power ball and it worked great. I experimented with a few different polishes besides the mothers that came with it

The Mother's PowerBall system also has an available "road rash" kit for wheels, which basically includes 1000 and 2000 grit paper for sanding out abrasions. I will be trying this out in the Spring and report back how it worked, as I have a scuff or two that need repairing.

I've looked at the powerball and wondered if it would perform as well as they advertize.  Sounds like it's well worth a try!   I've  always done swirl removal and polishing by hand on everything but stainless.  Always wworried about burning the paint or melting the plastic.
Funny Bill...I learned the hard way about taping the letter off on lenses also!!   
Guess I'll have have to go get me a powerball!!

I bought a Mother's Power Ball to polish the tunnel on my snowmobile and it worked great.  I used Flitz polish and It looks like a mirror.
