    • Safe and effective wheel cleaner
Style: Sprayable 2 Pack
Chemical Guys Diablo Wheel Cleaner Spray does an excellent job cleaning wheels without being harsh. It safely removes brake dust, road grime, and dirt while being gentle enough for regular use. I’ve used it on alloy wheels, and it cleans thoroughly without dulling the finish or causing damage. The gel-like formula clings well to the surface, giving it time to break down grime before rinsing. With light agitation from a brush, wheels come out looking fresh and well-maintained. It also has a mild, pleasant scent compared to many other wheel cleaners that have strong chemical smells. Another big plus is peace of mind—this cleaner is non-acidic, so you don’t have to worry about damaging your wheels or surrounding components. It’s great for routine maintenance and keeping wheels looking their best between deeper cleanings. Overall, Chemical Guys Diablo Wheel Cleaner is a reliable, high-quality product that delivers consistent results. Highly recommended for anyone who wants clean wheels without risking damage. ... show more

    • Safe and effective wheel cleaner.
Style: Diablo Gel 16 oz
This is a safe but effective wheel cleaner. Diablo safely cleans your wheels. It does not contain strong acids that could damage delicate parts and surfaces. There are stronger wheel cleaners out there but those can do damage to the delicate parts, like emblems, if you forget to wash off any over-spray. The Diablo wheel cleaner is safe enough to use on your wheels. It will not damage exterior trims. This spray will not cause the adhesives on your trim to weaken. Most plastic trim on the exterior of your car are attached with adhesives. This is the reason why you should not use strong chemicals. The clear coat on the paint will keep the finish protected from harsh chemicals but the adhesives and the rubber seals on the exterior of the car are delicate items. The rubber door seals are more delicate than tire rubber. Diablo should be diluted. Use one of the Chemical Guys dilution bottle for this purpose. The pump in the spray head is resistant to chemicals. That is what you want to use with these cleaners. A good quality spray bottle helps make your cleaning experience more pleasant. You will pull that spray trigger many times. It helps to have a properly designed product. The Diablo is somewhat thick. A spray head that has a long trigger will help you. Dilute the cleaner with soft water. RO or deionized water works best. Spray liberally on your wheels. Give the product time to work and then scrub the wheels. I know, somebody probably sold you a product in the past that claimed you do not have to scrub and you were disappointed. It is hard for any cleaner to remove dirt and grime without you physically scrubbing the wheels. Diablo is a good cleaner but you will need to scrub that grime off. That's just the way it is. Diablo makes the job a little easier because any dirt that you scrub away will not stick back to the wheels as long as you do not let the product dry. It basically floats the particles away from the wheel surface for a short time. Long enough for you to hose it off. Do you really need a product that was designed to clean wheels? Can you use the same car shampoo that you used to clean the painted surfaces of the car? I think so. In my opinion, you can get away with that. Use the same car shampoo for your wheels. It's your physical effort that pulls the dirt off of the wheels. Diablo is probably stronger than your PH neutral car shampoo but you can compensate with a little more physical effort. This is another good product from the detailing geeks. It can be economical. It is very safe, for your wheels and for you. It will help you clean your wheels without causing potential problems with your trim. I highly recommend this product if you feel the need to use a wheel cleaner instead of using your car shampoo. ... show more

    • Amazing Wheel Cleaner – Safe, Effective, and Smells Great!
Style: Diablo Gel 16 oz
I’ve used several wheel cleaners over the years, but Chemical Guys Diablo Gel is by far one of the best I’ve tried. The gel formula clings perfectly to the wheels, even on vertical surfaces, which gives it time to break down brake dust and grime. What I love most is that it's pH-neutral and safe for all types of wheels—chrome, painted, powder-coated—you name it. No harsh smells either; it actually has a nice, fruity scent! I usually dilute it 3:1 with water and still get amazing results. For tougher dirt, I use it more concentrated and give it a light brush. It lifts the dirt without damaging the finish, and rinses off easily. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a safe and powerful cleaner without worrying about harsh chemicals. I’ll definitely keep buying this. ... show more

    • Great product with pros and cons
Style: Diablo Gel 16 oz
Great product and is gentle enough to not stain rims. This will get rid of normal everyday dirt, grime and break dust with ease. However if you use this to deep clean caked on brake dust and rust from years of neglect on rims be aware it will take lots of time and lots of elbow grease. If you want a quick and effective clean maybe opt for an acidic cleaner but be warned that can stain metal and your rims in a bad way. ... show more

    • Nice and fresh look and fabulous smell!
Style: Sprayable 2 Pack
Works great just like every product from Chemical Guys. Just be prepared it took me 1 bottle on of my tires. I have 20’’ BFG’s so it almost makes sense that it would I just wasn’t prepared. 3 of the 4 tires plus aftermarket wheels look nice and fresh without the oily armor all look. Curious to see how many washes I get! ... show more
