Product Description
Diablo Gel pH neutral wheel cleaner is safe enough to use on any and all OEM, after market wheels, painted and powder coated wheels, chrome, carbon fiber lips, decal wrapped wheels and lips and virtually all painted surfaces. Diablo Gel's suspension technology is oxygen rich infused. Concentrated suspension technology encapsulates dirt particles and rapidly lifts them away from the paint suspending them in a pH neutral slippery gelatin that easily rinses off wheels, leaving spot free results. The unique and unmatched gel consistency of Diablo enables it to stick to grime and brake dust filled wheels rapidly and efficiently loosening and lifting contaminants in suspension where they can be safely rinsed away from the surface, leaving wheels and tires spotless. Diablo Gel wheel and rim cleaner can be applied with a brush or sprayed on. Always dilute according to needs. For regular cleaning, dilute 1 part product to 6 parts water. For easy measurements in any bottle pour 1 inch Diablo and the rest of the bottle fill with water. For heavy duty cleaning Diablo can be left more concentrated 1:4 or 1:5. One 16 ounce bottle can make as many as 6 bottles of ready to use Diablo Gel. Safe for all wheels, non acid based, non caustic based, water based, extra slippery gel that safely cleans all wheels painted, clear coated, polished, chrome or anodized wheels. 100 percentage pH balanced and neutral so it's safe for delicate wheels. A single glance at Diablo wheel gel clearly shows how it holds the oxygen pockets inside of the products. Diablo wheel gel's unique extra slippery formulation lifts brake dust, dirt and contaminates away from any surface holding it in complete suspension so it can be safely rinsed off without staining any surface.

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.
