Default Blingmaster'ed CCW's (I'm now a believer...)



This bottle showed up two days after ordering....and I couldn't wait for a clear day to try it out. So I washed up the Hawk and took a wheel off for testing.







Little info on the test subject...CCW SP550. Not daily driven but driven a good bit. Seen rain, newly constructed roads with lots of dirt and debris. I consider the wheels to be clean and on a bright sunny day, they look great from any distance over 5 ft. away. However, the perfectionist inside of me hates getting close to them because all of the polishes as of late have left a "near-perfect finish". What I mean by this is that after hours of work, there still seems to be a haze and the finish looks cloudy to me.

Average time spent polishing with Mothers, Meguiars, or Zoop products: 1 hour a wheel. Sometimes more if the wheels are really dirty.

I pulled one of the rear 18x11's off and cleaned it up with Flitz Wheel Cleaner (recommended by the guy I talked to who sold me the Blingmaster).


Then I went to work. Blingmaster is a very liquid polish and a little goes a long way. The method I used employed a nice microfiber. I would apply the polish with one microfiber, working the polish onto the surface using light, vigorous motions. I was amazed at how far a little bit of polish went on a single wheel. After working the polish until it was black, I removed it with another microfiber.

Total time spent on one wheel: 15-20 minutes.

I'll let the pictures do the talking....

Can you tell which one's been hit with Blingmaster?:thumbsup:




Unpolished front wheel...


versus polished rear wheel....


The best part of all this....it was quick and easy. Light pressure required and I was done with the one wheel within 20 minutes. Now I have to find a clear day to clean all of them up and get some new pictures.

I polished my Bogart's with Mothers Aluminum polish and then went over them with Blingmaster. I must say, Blingmaster improved the shine over Mothers. Your rims look good.

Mine just came in but it's raining so I'll have to wait for it to clear up until I get a chance to do mine. This is very encouraging though and makes me anxious.

what are you guys with the CCW's using to protect them? I know if I buy a set, they will be protected frequently.

I'll be trying a new Flitz protectant on top of the wheels when I get around to them.

To the OP, thanks for those amazing before and after pics. Excellent job working the Blingmaster!

We have had many happy Blingmaster customers form the forum, I'm glad everyone gave our product a chance to prove itself in the real world. Keep the orders coming and I will keep supplying those free microfiber towels.
