I've used the Powerball and it saves time, but polishing wheels is still a PITA! Take the wheels and get them ceramic clear coated. That's what I did to my Intros and have been polish free happy for a while now.

I had the power ball and I liked it. Just don't use a cordless drill, unless your cordless drill spins as fast as a regular drill.

I can't remember exactly how much it ran me, but it wasn't expensive at all considering that all you will have to do is wash and dry them. What will cost you is the professional polishing that will have to be done to the wheels before the ceramic coat. That is a must because whatever the rims looks like before the coating, that's how they'll look after. So if they're dull, expect a dull ceramic coated rim.

I took my Intros back to Bryan @ Intro and he took care of it. He ended up taking them to Specialized Coatings somewhere in Orange County. I've taken a few things there for powdercoat as well. They do excellent work.
