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:

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.
