Default Anyone tried the polishing ball yet?

I've seen this red wheel polishing ball at Autozone and I was going to buy until I noticed that it's $23.99. It mounts onto an electrical drill and the drill spins it I guess.
I was just wondering if anyone has tried it yet and what ur thoughts are about it. Is it worth the money?

Thanks

I have used it on my truck wheels and it does make it easier and it does make them shine up nice.

i had one I used on my Jeep wheels and it did pretty good but if you just have a polished lip on your wheel and a few aluminum pieces here and there I've found that NEVERDULL WADDING polish is the way to go. For easy use and plush shine

you have to keep it lubricated with the polish or you could get swirls
