Mothers Power Ball
I did a search and came up with two threads so I figured I'd ask.
Has anyone tried Mothers Power Ball? Does anyone know of any other similar products? My wheels could use a polishing and I wanted to see if there were any users that have used it.

I saw that, the "mini". They also have a "mini md" on their website. Man, it's amazing what they can charge for a cut up nerf softball ain't it? I might go and see if there's a kit or gift set available at kragen.

From what little I know, the Mother's ball has high amounts of ammonia and other chemicals that clean quickly, but also invite further corrosion to happen sooner.
I've found that great products, and great advice, can be had at www.englishcustompolishing.com.

I just bought the mini power ball today at Kragens for $19.99. Im finding that it is working okay, but be careful of the sharp metal heat shields that are inner sides of the rotor. It will cut up the nerf ball. I think it is a decent product but I would not say its a miracle - "man how did I live without it" - type product.

Also, here's what you need to know about polishing:

There really is some great advice there if you can patiently go through each link.
But, to answer the question, I'd use whatever ball you like (or already have) with the one they call, funnily enough, "Trucker’s Blend".
I have no affiliation, by the way.

Jeff,
I just use a rag with the Wenol. Works pretty well. If I want to get really crazy and achieve a mirror-like finish, I use a polishing wheel on my drill. I have four wheels for various grades of polish/cleaners, all available from Lowes or HD.

Ok, I went and got a mother's power ball mini. I had to try it. Results are good and my hands don't need to feel the burn of hand rubbing the metal anymore. The power ball and mother's liquid polish did away the light stains that were on the rims (the rims weren't tarnished or anything to begin with) and you can definitly see a difference. The best part of this ball is that it doesn't have an exposed metal nut or bolt in the very front of it- it's clad in rubber or plastic and also has the foam material of the ball surrounding so you don't scratch your rims.
Sorry, no before and after shots.
It now only takes a couple minutes per rim instead of who knows how long. I do want to try it with other polishes such as wenol if that stuff isn't too abrasive.
