Default Mother's power polish ball

Looking for opinions on the mother's power ball,the smaller one I was thinking of buying to get at the rear rim to help with cleaning it..Anybody have one and do you think it's worth it?

I have one and it is well worth the price. I have the small/mini version. Only problem I have found is when you get it to close to the tires, it develops a black dust which can mess up the wheels. Also, make sure you clean the wheels really good before applying polish

Hey tpolstc, Let us know how you make out. I have the same bike with the same problem.

Using this powerball, would you have to spend hours upon hours polishing the rear wheel or is it a quick and painless process?

+1 for the powerballs. Have both sizes they work great. After each used I use HOT soapy water to clean, let air dry, ready to go next time=EZ.
