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.

Does what it says it will
This product is great for cleaning behind the wheels without having to take the wheel off. I added the proper amount of product into my phone canon, sprayed it on the wheel waited for it to do its job and then use my tire cleaning kit to wipe away the caked up break dust the product works very well. I do recommend that you add a little bit of this product onto your scrub brush that way when you are cleaning the wheel do you have extra cleaning powder?

I’ve purchased Diablo so many times! I love how it degreases, removes break dust and leaves your rims looking brand new! (I also apply Chemical Guys Hydro Spin ceramic, once dry)
This product cleans and performs well, whenever I utilize it. It has always proved effective and cost efficient.
Roads are always going to be nasty and making your vehicles rims look nasty! It is because of durable products that remove that nasty grime, which leave your rims looking new again! This product is amazing and won’t leave you disappointed.
