Mother's Power Ball Polisher

Hi Dennis, thanks again for dinner on Thursday night. I hope your wife's luck at the slots continued. I hope I'll get the chance to get the dinner ticket next year. I just clicked on your website and enjoyed your pictures of the event. The last twelve pictures didn't load up on my home computer ... guess I'll try again with my office computer and see if I can check out the other pictures. By the way, picture number 7, the white GT-5 clone next to the Viper sold within an hour of your taking the photo that Friday evening ... $29,500, the asking price! I went and took a nap, then woke up and decided to buy it! By 8:00 PM it was sold! You snooze, you lose. Walking back into the hotel at 5:30 PM, I thought Pantera Someday would want it, but I didn't know how to contact him. Then I woke up and said to myself ... "These GT-5 guys go all the way, I bet he's got polished aluminum heads, ZF, the works! I'll bet I could swap all the coolest parts off of it and put them onto my Pantera, then sell it for $29,500. No wait! I'll drive it for a while and decide if I like the GT-5 first, and maybe swap all the coolest parts from my Pantera onto it, and sell my Pantera ... no wait! .... I'm a kid in a candy store and I'll just buy it and then figure out what to do with two Pantera's ... I can't go wrong!" But it was sold right from underneath me! Maybe that's the best thing to happen anyway. Temptation, temptation ... maybe I was spared from my own big eyes and thirst to have all the candy in the candy store! It was nice to meet you and your wife, I hope you guys had a blast in Vegas. See you there next year, with any luck at all.

Best regards from the middle of the desert to the lush Hawaiian gardens, each of us with our own advantages and disadvantages ... weather and vegetation vs. heat, rocks, cactus and wide open stretches of highway for hundreds of miles, the grass is always greener or the freeways longer on the other side of the ocean, eh?

I just bought and tried out the new Mother's Power Ball polisher. This thing rocks! I did my Coddington Campy clones in a fraction of the time that it used to take me. It gets into the small crevices and does a great job cleaning and polishing. Highly recommneded!

My experience has been that all aluminum wheel polishes destroy the high gloss polish finish that is done at the factory. Once you use aluminum polish they well never look new again and will have microscopic scratches. The best solution I have found is to remove the wheels and wash them with car wash soap on both sides, dry them with a soft towel and then wax them with PLAIN carnauba wax. Do not use cleaner wax. Your wheels will look new forever if you use plain wax.

Mike,

your car is gorgeous, you take extraodinary care of it. The trouble you spend on the wheels certainly pays off.

I have wondered if anybody has tried having a clear powder coat applied to the polished aluminum wheels?

Mike's car always looks immaculate! Unfortunately there are the rest of us who's rims already have the scratches. The Powerball works the best for me so far.

Ron! Good to hear from you! I am impressed that you bought a second one! A friend of mine here was interested after seeing my pictures but found that it was gone.
