Default Power Ball Mini

I used the power ball mini with aluminum polish the other day on my polished rear wheel. I was amazed how well it worked. The extension which comes with it made it very easy. I now have a mirror polished rear wheel. Not too bad for an hours worth of work.

I'm going to try it on my front wheel spokes when I get the chance.

I'll post some picsbut if I were you I would forget the polished. The stock HD rearwheel is smooth and has no ridges so its easy. If you go with a custom polished wheel, you will be doing allot of work. Go chrome or powder coat. I was looking at the Performance Machine Contrast Cut Wheels, Which is a powder coated wheel with the edges cut to expose the aluminum.
