Chemical Guys CLD_998_16 Diablo Wheel & Rim Cleaner Spray, 16 fl oz

These two make there perfect pair! Diablo wheel cleaner works so well that I never feel the need to use any tire shine and the clients love the look. I use a pressure washer to pre rinse, soak tire in Diablo, scrub well with wheel and tire brush and then rinse away to reveal a beautiful clean wheel and tire

I live in Pittsburgh and had my winter wheels and rims removed the other week and decided to use my new bottle of Diablo to give them a clean. These are off a BMW, which are notorious for lots of brake dust. There was also a lot of tar from spring pothole repairs. Although the face had been cleaned periodically, the barrels had not been cleaned a single time in 6 months of winter use. I think the photos speak for themselves, but I was amazed at how well this cleaner works, especially considering that it is pH balanced and acid free. I bought Diablo as I was tired of using a competing product that warned against leaving on the rims for more than 30 seconds and was worried about its safety on my pained brake calipers. It also included large warnings on the bottle for eye, skin, and respiratory tract burns. Yikes! I feel much better and very safe using this product, not only for the health of my rims and calipers, but my personal health as well. I applied the gel (1:3 as directed) and allowed it to dwell for about 3 minutes then gently scrubbed with the Chemical Guys green rim brush. The gel clings to the rims well, allowing it to work without dripping to the bottom of the rim. Now does this remove very hard caked on tar? No it does not. However the brake dust and other dirt just melted off with a gentle scrubbing from the brush. It removed some of the tar, just not the worst parts. Overall this is an amazing rim cleaner and I would highly recommend it.
