Unbelieveably Clean
Smells like bubble gum - works great. I thought my wheels were pretty clean - then I used this Chemical Guys cleaner.It was unbelievable how much cleaner the wheels and brakes became. Even the brake caliper logois were clean and detailed (!) Same effort = better results.

Safe and effective wheel cleaner.
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.

Bang for your buck
This seems like a good bargain so far. The wheels on my new car don't get as much brake dust as those on my old one, and I'm comparing this to the products I used on that which were OTC wheel cleaners from popular brands. Despite that, I have every reason to believe this works just as well as those. I also invested in Meguiar's wheel brush. That combined with Diablo Gel is great. Makes the job easier, faster and cleaner.I diluted it to about 4/1 because my first try at 5/1 was a little too watery and didn't hold on the wheels for very long. It looks like I'll get close to 2.5-3 32oz bottles out of it which makes this a great deal.The cons: just the labeling. First in the description on the product it boasts that it's safe for all types of wheels including painted and clear coated. Then in the directions it warns "not for use on paint". Is the latter referring to the paint on your car's body? Probably. But that should be explained considering the contradiction.More worrying, the whole label was either written by a 10 year old or someone who's first language is not English. Poor grammar, random punctuations, misspellings. In the directions the product is actually referred to as "Biablo gel". The most important thing is that it works, of course, but mistakes like that can lead you to believe it may be a cheap counterfeit or something. Rest assured though because I called the company via their official website and they verified this is the real deal and they would be fixing the label soon. Still, a serious company would have never sent out a product with errors like that. I'd be embarrassed if my company did that.

🛞🔥 Diablo Gel = Wheel Cleaning Magic! 💦✨
This stuff is 🔥 when it comes to cleaning your rims! The Chemical Guys Diablo Gel clings to the wheels like glue, breaking down all that nasty brake dust and road grime without harming your finish 🚗💨. I use it on my chrome and black-coated rims, and it never disappoints — just spray, let it sit, and rinse (with a little brush action for the deep grime) 💪🧽.What I love most? It smells great, doesn't feel harsh like some cleaners, and it's safe on all types of wheels — no worries about damage or discoloration 🙌. Plus, a little goes a long way, so one bottle lasts longer than you’d expect.Highly recommend if you want that fresh-off-the-lot shine without the elbow grease. Diablo Gel gets it DONE. 🛞✨

Good but not the Greatest!
Definitely better products out there, but this does the job and I cannot talk too poorly about this! It does clean wheels but there are better options. Good when in a pinch though!

Meh!
Product worked well. Product bottle arrived damaged. The nozzle was broken and leaked inside plastic wrap. What a mess before even using product.
