I've used the mini on the wheels and on exhausts. They work reasonably well with a good drill. When you say paint, you don't mean the paint on the body, do you? I don't think they are designed for that, and even if they are I'd avoid it.

Picus, they make two types of powerballs now. THe original which is meant for wheels and such and the new one called Powerball for Paint. I've never used the Powerball for Paint, and don't think I will. The idea kind of scares me.

Works fine on wheels (with the proper drill, as mentioned above).

I'd be very very careful if you're trying the "Paint" ball on your car (it's certainly not something I'd risk). Get a PC if you want to go that route.

Anyone used it on their exhausts and have before/after pics?

I used the Mothers Power Ball Mini on my wheels with 3M Rubbing Compound a while back. My hopes were not high, but after use I was more than happy with the results.

Ah, ok thanks. I thought he meant the large pb and the mini. I still wouldn't use a pb on my paint.

i am going to order one next month before my wheels get here.
So a few good layers can go on before it is put on the car.
