  • The problem I have with these drill products is evidenced at 2:25 of this vid..notice the click..thats the drill head connection banging against the top of the rim! I have $4000 rims...no way!!! The ball needs to be designed better with padding at the drill connection area......my 2 cents worth

  • A better choice for you might be Flitz's 2" Super-Mini BüffBall. Its 8" no scratch shaft keeps the drill head safely away from your rim. I was trying to show the basic polishing techniques in a 3 minute video, I am sure most everyone would take more time & care in polishing their wheels, especially if you paid $4,000 for them.

  • This Jeep has over 40,000 miles on it. It was beyond a simple cleaning. Please see the post on thepolishguy-dot-com for before and after pictures.

  • You can use either type of drill. In general the higher the speed the higher the luster up to 2500 rpms.

  • Leaving this light film of dirt on wheel, gives an even more pronounced 'before and after' shot.

  • Yes, wash the rim before you use any type of polish, I thought that went with out saying.

  • I don't understand 100%... Unless Jeep does not clear coat their wheels, all you are "polishing" is the clear coat. I can see where this product would be useful for bare metals...

  • will this remove scratches?

  • i was thinking that to :):)
