Chemical Guys, Sprayable Diablo Wheel Cleaner for All Rim Finishes, 32 oz | pH-balanced spray lifts brake dust and road grime from wheels, rims and tires, safe on all wheel finishes

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.

GREAT STUFF. REALLY CLEANED WHEELS WELL. TIRES, EHH!. I HAD TIRE SHINE ON THE TIRES AND IT DIDN'T REMOVE THE COATING. I GUESS IF YOU DON'T TREAT YOUR TIRES THIS WOULD WORK WELL. BLEACH WHITE WOULD BE BEST TO REMOVE TIRE TRATMENTS/TIRE SHINE. OVERALL DOES WHAT IT SAYS ON WHEELS. JUST A LITTLE PRICEY. I USED 2/3 OF ONE OF THE BOTTLES TO DO 8 WHEELS.

Hello, I'm writing today for this Diablo wheel and tire cleaner. After reading a bunch of reviews, I decided to purchase and try this. I have always used Chemical Guys Tire shine and water proofer. The solution comes out either in a spray or stream. The spray consistency wasn't good. Till after I read the directions. As per directions, you are supposed to shake well before use. I did not do that on the first wheel I Cleaned. The smell is like original classic bubble gum. I haven't deep cleaned my rims in a long time and this product cleaned them very well. Easy to use , only need a little scrubbing. They are a lot more clean and shiney then when I used other products. With minimal scrubbing they cleaned up surprisingly well. I am happy with this product and the 2 pack bundle was a good value. As usual, Chemical guys have come thru with another great product!!

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.

I’ve been using the Chemical Guys CLD_998_1602 Sprayable Diablo Wheel Cleaner (16 oz, 2-pack) for about six months on my truck’s rims, and it’s a decent choice for regular maintenance. The pH-balanced, non-caustic formula is safe for all wheel finishes, including my polished aluminum rims, and the oxygen-infused foam lifts brake dust and road grime effectively with minimal scrubbing. I spray it on, let it sit for a minute, and use a soft wheel brush—black water from brake dust just pours off, leaving a clean, shiny finish. The foaming action helps it cling to the rims, and the slick lubricants prevent scratching when brushing, which is great for weekly washes. Diluting it 4:1 (4 parts water to 1 part cleaner) stretches the 16 oz bottle, making it cost-effective at around $20-$25 for the pair. The pleasant citrus scent is a nice bonus over harsher chemical smells. However, it’s not a magic bullet. For heavily soiled rims with caked-on brake dust, it requires some elbow grease and a good brush, as some Amazon and Walmart reviews note—it won’t just rinse off with water alone. The spray nozzle can be inconsistent, sometimes streaming instead of misting, which makes even application tricky and can lead to product waste. I’ve also noticed that diluting it too much (beyond 4:1) reduces its cleaning power, as one reviewer mentioned, so I stick to the recommended ratio or use it full strength for tougher jobs. It’s not as potent as some acid-based cleaners, but that’s the trade-off for a safer, gentler formula. For routine cleaning, it’s reliable and beginner-friendly, but for stubborn grime, you might need a stronger gel-based cleaner or extra scrubbing.

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.

This stuff is absolutely amazing! It's very easy to use, the trigger works well and it smells great! I simply sprayed my tires and wheels and let it sit for about 20 mins before washing my entire car. I didn't have to do any scrubbing or extra work and my tires and wheels look terrific!! Most definitely worth the money and I'll be ordering again as soon as I run low. Finally a product that keeps its promise!

Let the product stay on Rim and for a great job removing brake dust. Only drawback is the nozzle is cheap, it leaks a lot . There is some waste when applying

This product doesn’t do more than any other cleaning product.

Es bueno, lo hemos estado usando y se nota la diferencia, vale pena? No necesariamente, si le vas a invertir al cuidado si, si solo lavas de vez en cuando con el mismo jabón del carro tienes.

Removes dirt and grime like no other. I enjoy using it on my car.

This is truly the best wheel cleaner I have ever used. It just works, and it is amazing. I mix some up in a spray bottle and spray on the wheels before cleaning the car. If the wheels are particularly dirty, I will agitate them with a plastic brush. Just wash the car rinse and the wheels will shine. It works great on brake dust too. I love the smell of product. I recommend using this Diablo Wheel Cleaner.

I use Diablo Wheel Gel in my detailing business and it’s one of my go-to products. The pH-neutral formula is safe on all wheel finishes, and the thick foam clings really well to lift brake dust and grime. It smells nice too and rinses clean without leaving residue. Ideal for maintenance washes — gentle but powerful results every time.
