Powerball bling bling

I used the mini powerball and some mother mag polish on my very dull wheels.

Before

After

My dog Buckshot loves to be in front of the camera

I had to wet sand them to remove the white glaze that was on them...stripped the shine off too. The powerball and the mothers did a great job putting the shine back on.

if you really want to get those to shine even better, try using a good truck polish. the best i have used on my kenworth is from wildwood florida chrome shop. it's called wildwood polish. it's purple and can get those rims to come out almost like chrome.

I know i made the stupid mistake and sprayed some wheel cleaner on them..you know spray it on,wait 1 minute and hose off stuff. Put a nice white glaze on them and had to wet sand them to get it off. Took the shine with it.

I love my Mother's powerball. I have the large one, and need to invest in the small one. They have always given my good results, especially on diamond plate.

Should polish out, if not, you'll have to wetsand with very, very fine sandpaper then polish them out.
