Anyone try this on their chrome wheels?

I know ya shouldn't have to, but I got these chrome 16in Style 5s that have all those nooks and crannies that need care, and doing it by hand makes my fingers fall off by the end of the day. Dang what was I thinking when I bought 'em!?

The surface isn't bad; just starting to build up junk now (8 months old, wash the wheels twice/month, but Still have hard-to-remove crud).

I guess I'd need to buy a bunch of those felt bobs for the dremmel. Wonder how they hold up to use?

Anyone doing this?

Powerball + wheel wax.

Hook it up to your drill and go.

Wouldn't it get all messed up from bolts on 2/3 piece wheels? I need to do the same to my bbs rs.

I just used the Powerball today for the first time, and first off, make sure you have a good drill to use it with!!!

I personally used Meguiar's Hot Rim's Mag/Alum and that works just AMAZINGLY well! I will probably go out and get NXT next time so I can use it on coated wheels as well.

Haven't used the Powerball, but I've wondered about it. Maybe the Mini Powerball would work well for tight places like wheel spokes?

The Powerball is great, as well as the flitz balls you can get for much cheaper on Ebay. They work great. Using the Dremel could take a month....
