Blingmaster Works GREAT on My TorqThrust II's! I was a professional detailer for 6-7 years when I was a young'n. I worked for most any car dealership brand you can think of. I've used a ton of wheel cleaners and other products over the years. After seeing the [mostly] ranting and raving reviews, I figured I'd give Blingmaster a shot. I had 1 hour to do my wheels during my lunch break last Friday. Not much time as you all know. Only snapped a couple shots, but the two I took show a huge difference. The car sat out all winter, was not driven more than once or twice a month when the ground was not salty. This is the first time I've cleaned the wheels since late last summer (September/October). Pardon the crappy cell phone shots:
Before:
After only 15 mins of light work:
I plan to put some more work into them once it warms up later this week. I need to take the wheels off the car one by one and do both the inside and outside of the wheel. The inside is going to need some wet sanding or brillo-pad-ish work. But, I am VERY happy with the outcome of this product so far.

Yep, I only had 1 hour and my buffing tools were at home (I did it at work). I'll pull the wheels off like I said and do it all properly, but for 15 minutes per wheel, by hand, I am impressed! Thanks, I love the look of them on these cars as well, whether it's a base Trans Am or even a Camaro, I think they work great!

It's still "cold" here! It was 27* this morning when I left for work 1 hour ago. This is "slow" progress getting ready for spring 
We still have snow in the forecast, but also 70* .. damn weather. I'm still driving my winter beater as my DD as well.
My plan is to spend several hours when the weather warms up doing the following:
-Remove the wheels
-Work one wheel at a time, possibly with some minor wet sanding (2000 grit or so)
-Wet sand the inside of the wheel where it's nasty with some 1500, then 2000 grit
-Paint the calipers with gloss black caliper paint
-Reinstall
It will look nice once I finish
