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.

Got a bottle for the aluminum clear coated rims on my daily Ram 1500. I run an EBC yellow stuff pad in the front and I wont be the first to tell you that they are DUSTY with a dimpled and grooved rotor. After about 8-10 weeks of steady driving 45-1.5 hours a day in a urban area this stuff is still working. Brake dust hoses off or will come off if you drive into a puddle. Did my wheels with a brush in a drill chuck and have not reapplied since first application. Id say its a must for someone who just hoses a truck down or rarely washes.

I used this on my wheel and tires. I found that it did an alright job of cleaning my wheels that had light black break dust. The wheels with caked on break dust were barely affected. I would try other products that are not ph neutral. Not a terrible cleaner just average especially given the price.

This product offers great value since you can dilute to a 3 to 1. I use it with a manual foam sprayer (malorex) and it creates a good amout of coverage. The only con is that it does not offer iron remover color changing technology but it cleans very well.
