I have one of those things.. and it works okay, but I didnt get the name brand one, so that might be why I dont use it much. I just get those 1 gallon jugs of simple green concentrated, and put about 2 cups of that to a gallon or so of water, in a small bucket, and use rags and elbow grease.. works good for me -

I use the Eagle One wheel and tire cleaner on mine and it does a great job taking off the brake dust and doesn't leave any spots. I have the Mothers ball (both sizes) and all I can say is the same as you. They work OK, but not great. -

i've used a diluted down purple power solution before to get the brake dust off, then windex and news paper to wipe off the windex and dry the wheels. looks like a mirror.... but i got tired of that and got black wheels..... wash them with soap and water and they are done -

X2 there are some other good polishes out there too. The powerball is crap you don't want anything to abrasive you want chemical polishes. -

I've been using Adams All purpose cleaner on the chrome. Much like simple green, you don't need to leave it on very long. Then I hit it with the Adams Metal Polish #2. -
