So I'd be able to simply clean my fuel rails (LT1) with some water then apply some "Bling Master" and they would be nice and shiney? Or do I still have to do a whole polishing process like this?:

Seems like a good product.

No problem at all on chrome, very light pressure is all you need.

On the fuel rails just clean them off with a rag and go to town on them with the Blingmaster. You will need to put some effort into it but when your done they will looks great. Maintanence from then there out will be a breeze. I did a set of valve covers for a customer from his old school BBC that were in bad shape a few weeks ago, they looked amazing when I was done.

We have sold many metal polishes over the years (since 1974) and the Blingmaster has outdone Flitz, Mothers, Mother Billet, Wenol, Simichrome and Never Dull. I still carry a few of them here in our store but Blingmaster has really taken alot of sales away from the other lines. Try it once and you will be hooked.

I like that answer. I'm gonna have to try this stuff I think

Any chance of doing any sort of intro promo discount? Even something like free shipping or something? lol

The steps in every "How To" say to sand down the rails, or anything thats being polished - this stuff really lets you skip that step?

Hmmm...waiting to hear some real field feed back. If it doesn't require as much elbow work as wenol I may be interested in a bottle as well! Got a few things that could use a good polish.

Forum member: FLSSLS1 just left my shop with a bottle of Blingmaster. I also demonstrated it on his wheels. In his words after he seen the product work, "I'm going home to throw away all of my Mothers polish".


Shoot him a PM and ask him what he thinks of the polish. He said he would post in the forum for everyone also.

anybody that wants my other wheel polish (Mother's, etc) it's in the trash come get it! Now I am not bashing Mother's or Meguires because I've got all kinds of their great products on my shelf, just no more metal polish only Blingmaster! Anybody in St Pete or Tampa needs to stop in Joe's store, this place is going to be a bad habit! I am not able to download pics at this time sorry! but this stuff works great, period! I'll do the wheel barrels next week and that will be the ultimate test! Thanks again Joe!

As far as your wheels are concerned if the chrome is pitting and or flaking then the finish cannot be saved by any polish. Chrome is, as I'm sure you know is a coating process. Once it fails it must be rechromed.

Wish I could help more. Good luck my friend.

The chrome wheels are just dull. No pitting, flaking, or water spots. Just dull.

My front ones are newer than the rear ones and they are much more shiny.

So to reiterate my question, does your product restore dull chrome? Or am I SOL?

I just placed an order and I should receive the product within 5 days (I hope). I would let you guys know if it really works or not! I am going to try it out on my Prostars.

If the chrome itself has turned white then yes your SOL and the coating is failing. Years ago I had the same problem. I replaced 2 wheels and they never matched the old set perfectly.

Post a few pics so I can see what you have going on. We can go from there.
