According to their website if you use the powerball and Mothers Metal it is supposed to bring out the luster in your wheel, just wipe it off with a terry towl and you are set.

That is exactly what a powerball does for you "brings out the luster". That is a good thing to accomplish without a lot of elbow grease. However, if you want that mirror finish, you can take it a step further with the Mother's Billet polish and a use a microfiber rag to do the polishing with. Take your time and work the small amounts of plish to the point of nearly gone. Then use a detail spray, like Mother's sells and lightly wet the whell and wipe away the black residue. when you are done, and you can see your "Mug" clearly in the aluminum; then you have got the look. To finish, seal the metal so that water and dirt does not get into the pores.
The quality of the shine wil depend on the materials in the wheel. True billet rims will be bright and shiney, a mixed material base, such as American Racing wheels sometimes have, the shine will be there, but it will have a slight tint to it.
