Mothers power Paint ball

[zps2004]

Just as some background information, I am not one who needs to have my car looking in the best condition at all times. As long as it runs is important to me, but from time to time I do like to clean it up. So I figured I would give the power ball a try. To begin with I know it isn't the best to wax your car when it is hot out, but it was 78 degrees and very sunny. So once I started using the power ball, and got the hang of the best speed to apply the wax the process went by very quickly. It worked well and definitely did a better job than when I do it by hand. Also the main reason I looked into this over a buffer is because I thought that the fingers on it would last longer than the pads you have to use with a buffer. I definitely would say that now. Only the tips of the fingers got wax on them and I cleaned it according to the directions and while washing it gave it a pretty rough massaging with my hands and none of the fingers broke off at all and it is nice and clean and ready for another use. So I would say if you guys are into something to help wax/polish your car faster, I would recommend this.

I also use this to apply the wax, covers well and quickly.
Not sure about using it on a black car it may cuase swirl marks, bt other than that I like mine.

I have an electric orbital buffing wheel. I haven't actually used in in probably 5 years, but it works great! Being electric (only one speed) it goes at just the right speed so you don't have that variable. Then as long as you don't push too hard you can't burn the paint. My only complaint about it is that being a 10 inch disk its a little difficult to use on smaller or concave surfaces. It works great on hoods, roofs, doors, and trunk lids, but I still use my hands for fenders/quarterpanels/bumpers. So maybe the orbital in conjunction with the power ball would work for the whole car.

The ball is good because since it isn't flat it can get into all of those small places.

I think my Porter Cable plus this would make an awesome combination.

Once you use a machine to apply wax, you will never go back to hand again.
