Diablo Gel Oxygen Infused Foam Wheel & Rim Cleaner, Concentrated Car Wheel Cleaner Safe on All Finishes, Removes Brake Dust, Dirt, Grime, for Cars, Trucks, SUVs, Motorcycles & RVs, 16 oz

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.

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.

Works great just like every product from Chemical Guys. Just be prepared it took me 1 bottle on of my tires. I have 20’’ BFG’s so it almost makes sense that it would I just wasn’t prepared. 3 of the 4 tires plus aftermarket wheels look nice and fresh without the oily armor all look. Curious to see how many washes I get!

Does good cleaning wheels and tires but product leaks out of the spray head making it messy to use. It would have gotten 5 stars if not for that.

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.

Works great and cleans the brake dust off the rim almost immediately on contact.

Perfect for the guy who washes car regularly and won't etch the metal or harm paint or clearcoat. The acid cleaners work for heavily eroded wheels but not for weekly cleaning.

Not a fan of this product. It has a great scent but it left streaks on my rims.

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

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.
