When the PowerBall won't cut it.
By R. Bellamy
Unfortunately, or perhaps, foolishly, I own three vehicles with polished aluminum wheels. They are all custom wheels with no lacquer finish to protect them. One is a 4X4 (Isuzu Trooper) that sees duty in all kinds of weather. One is a "classic car" that is generally protected and the last is a PU which is always subject to weather.

The Trooper was driven to Kansas City this last winter when they were having some of the worst snow and ice in MO for many years. That meant road salt and other ice melting chemicals were in use while the Trooper racked up more than a thousand miles of driving. The (forged Centerline) wheels were inundated and only washed once before spring. Needless to say, they suffered considerable corrosion before I had a chance to clean and polish them.

I had been using the PowerBall to polish the Centerlines, and in the East Tennessee climate, they would become only moderately corroded through the winter and the PowerBall (along with a great deal of hand polishing) would bring them back to near-new condition. After the K.C. trip, however, they were in much worse condition, so I used a buffing wheel similar to the ones in this kit. It worked well, but it was a typical flat wheel held onto the drill with a long screw and a couple of washers. Though the conventional buffing wheel did well, it's shape and the exposed screw head limited its usefulness.

When I discovered that the (American Racing cast) wheels on the classic car, stored outdoors, but under a cover, were also moderately corroded, I decided to try this kit along with some brown Tripoly (aluminum polish) from Sears.

The collection of various shapes and sizes of buffers made the process much, much easier and far more professional than the PowerBall. Plus, you get this entire kit for about the price of one PB. Also, the Tripoly really works if you need to take off serious corrosion like you might find on some "flea market" use d wheels. However, in my case, I found the best results by using the buffing wheels and Meguiars Metal polish. The Tripoli removes the corrosion quickly, but does not leave the high luster shine you get from Meguiars (or similar).

Obviously, these buffing wheels should work just as well on other aluminum items such as valve covers, etcetera.

Buffing Aluminum
By Dale
I used this kit to polish 4 American Racing rims that were polished but had oxidation marks from my car sitting outside 1 Ohio winter. I first tried a Mothers PowerCone but the foam prevented concentrating the buffing pressure. This buffing kit did the trick. The various shapes and diameters made it possible to reach 99% of the nooks but after the 2nd wheel they started to flatten out preventing getting every nook. I suggest buying 2 kits if you're doing 4 wheels. I bought a second buffing kit from the local Harbor Freight to finish the last 2 wheels. If your rims are not heavily oxidized then the Mothers PowerCone will get the job done. Also, because the metal polish is grease based it's a messy job. Use old clothes and wear rubber gloves or you might end up spending more time cleaning up than polishing.
