Instead of polishing small surfaces by hand, you can get them done faster and with better results with the PowerBall. This patent-pending detailing tool is made of professional grade foam that is soft and highly absorbent. It polishes out oxidation, scratches, and discoloration to restore a smooth, clean surface. The PowerBall 4 Lights attaches via hook and loop to the included drill backing plate. The spherical shape of the Mothers PowerBall 4 Lights allows you to use all sides when polishing in case one area becomes soiled. Unlike flat pads, you get more surface area and can therefore complete the job faster. Keep turning the foam ball to use a clean surface. The foam tabs that compose the ball are able to move over alignment dowels (small bumps on the lens cover) without ripping or snagging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e5 Restoration Pads\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mothers NuLens Headlight Renewal Kit includes five single-sided sanding pads. These pads are designed to be used on severely oxidized headlight lens covers if the Powerball and PowerPlastic did not achieve satisfactory results. One pad is 800 coarse grit. The second pad is 1500 fine grit. The third pad is 3000 grit. Start with the least aggressive pad that will be effective on the plastic. Then use finer and finer pads until you achieve a very finely scuffed surface that feels almost smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePowerBall 4 Lights Polish\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext you'll use the Mothers PowerBall 4 Lights to restore smoothness and clarity to the lens cover. With all the options in Mothers Powerball 4 Lights Lens Restoration Kit, you will be equipped to restore just about any plastic headlight or taillight. Mothers PowerPlastic Plastic Polish PowerPlastic features a special blend of oxidation-inhibiting polymers, UV shields and an ultra-fine polish that work in unison to clean and clarify your headlights, taillights, convertible top windows and more. When used in combination with a PowerBall and your electric drill, PowerPlastic removes oxidation and surface scratches with ease, and it leaves a transparent coating to protect plastics. Use Mothers NuLens Headlight Renewal Kit to polish out light oxidation and mild swirls on all hard plastic headlight lens covers and other hard plastic surfaces. The Mothers NuLens Headlight Renewal Kit works with a standard electric drill. No polisher is needed to get great results!
