So i was using my brand new powerball mini around my engine bay. I was pleased with what i was seeing.

So i was happily polishing away and got a little close to the Intake sensor thingy
(IAT i belive its called) and it got tangled in the powerball and ripped the wire right out. needless to say i couldnt fix it, so had to buy a whole new plug which was no picnic. luckly i found one that almost fit at my parts store. bought it and midfied it to work.

moral of the story: be weary of wires around ur powerball

Yesterday, I washed my car and pulled out the powerball to polish up the wheels. I stuck it in a little too far between the spokes and got it all tangled up between the caliper and the wheel. I ended up ripping off some of the fingers just to get it out! Guess you have to be a little careful when you are around wires or in tight spots.

Common sense guys, its the most important tool in detailing.

It's easy to snag on stuff with it for sure.


I'd go in coupe's thread about the PB for this but I figured more people would see this since it's a newer post..how do you clean the powerball? I threw away the package with the directions on it.

I just use simple green.

i use Dawn, a kitchen sink, and just manually clean it. takes about 5 mins.
