I gotta say Car Guy 11 has kinda grown on me. I wasn't enamored with his first coupe of videos, but now I look forward to them. He's got an unassuming calm manner and a soothing voice and explains just one thing at a time, takes a couple of minutes. His advice is always practical rather than theoretical. Good job and thanks.

Thanks for the video. I hope the ball is better than the Mother's Power Cone. I purchased and used the cone 3 times and it is shot. Expensive too! Here is what it looks like. Ouch!

Good stuff, thanks!

I have both the cone and the mini ball. I wrap them in T shirt strips, so I don't have to clean them. Works great and saves time, effort, and the foam from wear.
I also use clean strips on the ball/cone to do the polishing/wiping off of polish instead of having to wipe by hand.

I just wipe the exhaust residue off. Anything more is just a waste of time as the high shine is dulled the first time the engine starts even before the car ever leaves the garage.

To help in cleaning the ball afterwards, I use a water based product like Meguiars 105 heavy cut polish. Take a small pail with water/detergent in it and spin it with the cordless drill on the sides of the pail. Change the water a few times and within 2 minutes it's clean and drying.

I've used all of the above. Not sure where I bought this one, which is a wool ball attachment for your drill, as they all are but it seemed to work better.

Wow, that's a surprise Joe. I'm using my cone for over a year now, almost solely on the exhaust, and it still looks like new.

That's not an ice cream cone, you're not supposed to eat it...
