Cobra de- I'm a auto body man & painter. I believe fully in "Mother" products. With the "Power Ball 4 Paint", you don't want the drill to have much in rpm. Nice & easy. Here is Mothers site for information. You can buy these products anywhere. http://www.motherspowerball.com/

The Torque Thrust wheels, wither they are full polished or half, the power ball works great. If you get any a surface you don't want it to be on, just use a towel with water & wipe off. I have the Team III wheels, half polished and it's so much faster & easier with the ball. Like I said with a lot of my engine being polished aluminum, I'll bet it saves me two hours of finger soreness ! It works well with my ceramic coated parts as well.

HINT- only use the micro-fiber towels, and don't worry about black oxidation staining them , just wash & re-use. Since my cobra is blue, the blue microfibers are for my paint. Green for glass, yellow for interior ect.....

If you use anything else that 100% cotton or the fiber towels, they will re-scratch all the work you've done on your aluminum. I'm speaking form experience here !

For cleaning the power balls, if I'm not going to wash them right away, I'll put it in a sandwich bag & twist tie around the stem and wash them later The towels I use "Oxyclean" in the wash and let them soak over night, then continue the wash cycle. DO NOT....use too much soap. I love the Oxyclean for most everything I clean.

Hey, if Chip (the man) Foose, uses the power ball, I will too !
