aluminum polish for my draglites

I am thinkin about buying a powerball mini today and some polish to bring my draglites back to life. I am thinking either mothers aluminum polish or mothers billet aluminum polish. And suggested technics or products from you guys might help.

That mini powerball is awesome for polishing up the Welds -- I have used it with great results. I used the Mother's polish too -- seemed to work pretty well.

well i got the mini powerball, and i got the liquid mothers power wheel polish made for the powerball. Getting good results but 1 problem I am having.

After the polish turns black I can see a great shine underneath but after i rub the black off which seems to be a PITA it doesnt look as shiney.
