rideblue_06 Posted November 26, 2006 Report Posted November 26, 2006 I was wondering if any of u had the mothers polish ball that u put on a cordless screwdriver. How good does it work. Does it do good on pipes and rims? What about getting to the head on the motor. Also what kind of polish does good with it. Quote

rideblue_06 Posted November 26, 2006 Author Report Posted November 26, 2006 Also I have a good bit of surface rust on my pipes. Esp on the stinger. What is the best thing to use to get the rust off before polishing. Quote
kubiac3 Posted November 26, 2006 Report Posted November 26, 2006 The best thing to get rust off would be fine steel wool and just go to town. Also if you want to, you can take your pipes off and take a buffing wheel and mothers polish to the pipes. Makes them like new. Then put a coat of wax on them, makes its easy to clean them again. I put a coat of wax on everything, plastics, pipes, head, sidecases. just about everything. Really makes cleaning the pig alot easier. Quote

Does it do good on pipes and rims? What about getting to the head on the motor. Also what kind of polish does good with it. The ball works really good on the pipes, wheels, and bumper, maybe on the swinger if yours is chromed or anything. it's not so good for smaller, tight areas. The ball gets torn up, and sometimes it might get greasy, which is a pain to get clean. I use the Mother's chrome polish for my wheels, aluminum ITP's. It does pretty good. I use the generic metal polish for pipes. Also I have a good bit of surface rust on my pipes. Esp on the stinger. What is the best thing to use to get the rust off before polishing. S.O.S. pads, just a steel wool pad, with some soapy stuff that helps get it really clean. Quote
jbooker82 Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 They aslo have a mini powerball as well. It also comes with a long extension. Quote
jbooker82 Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 I think they are around 20 bucks. Quote
SandShots Posted December 13, 2006 Report Posted December 13, 2006 the powerball kicks ass. for years i polished the old way by hand. now i can get a wheel done in about 5-10 minutes. they make a smaller one that can probably get to the head. i recommend it, money well spent. i use some wax and sealer that they sell at hot rod shows. i'll check on the brand later.

ClimbAnyHill Posted December 13, 2006 Report Posted December 13, 2006 Sandshots is cookin up with the right recipe. I use the same!! Check out an old picture right after a rim polish, It even brought the old Toomeys back to life.. Quote
