Default Any Used Mothers Marine PowerBall?

I was wondering if anyone has used the Marine PowerBall for removing oxidation. I saw their ad in Powerboat magazine, and it looked like an interesting product. Just wondering how well it works.

The mini looks like a nice adea for tough to reach spots... For big areas, I've tried the yellow foam, gray foam, but find the THICK wool buffer pads with wizards or 3m final cut 1000 grit works great on minor oxidation and leaves smooth shiney results. Leverage is another final cut product, but haven't used it.... I've been looking for a mini buffer for buffing the drives.

I've used the mini on my drives, props, and headers with some polish. It worked awesome.

Used the mini ball on my aluminum trailer wheels. Worked pretty well when combined with the Mothers Mag and Aluminum Wheel Polish.

I used it on my jetboat motor - while building a custom trailer the boat sat outside for 2 months, came back with a ton of oxidation on the intake/valvecovers etc...

It worked well.
Got into almost all of the nooks and cranny's with the small ball. When you get around throttle linkage and fittings etc, it tends to tear the foam on the ball, so you still have to work it by hand to some degree.
