The red foam ball works great but I want to try the flitz ball as well.

What?

What?

Looks about the same as the Mother's product.

Used the Fritz ball, works great. Seen the Mother's ball, looks just like the Fritz ball.

I bought the "Mother's" ball for about $20 because my American Racing aluminum wheels are so hard to keep polished. What a disappointment. I wound up using an old cloth towel to buff them as usual. What a
P.I.T.A. There must be an easier way, isn't there??

John, have you considered using the Zoops stuff that gives a semi-permanent protection to polished metal?

Hi John. Hope all is well with you. Very busy here in central MA. Check out this wheel detailing polish post (http://www.elcaminocentral.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=11438). I've had some pretty good luck on my 32 year old ET Mags. The post has the products that I've used. I was going to try that "power ball". Glad I didn't bother with it. Thanks!

Best of luck and let me know how you make out.

I too am glad to read the review on the power ball before I spent money on it. I do have a Flitz ball and must say it does work pretty well on my Corvette wheels. One advantage is that you can apply some pressure since the Flitz is not foam but strips of soft material very much like a chamois it is washable and holds up pretty well under hard wheel polishing. You can get one from Eastwood and you can us what ever polish you prefer simechrome does a pretty good job as does Wenol. Harald K
