View Full Version : Introducing: Diablo Wheel Gel
This product is not yet available from Chemical guys, but here it is! It's a super thick wheel gel cleaner -- and by thick I mean it's like syrup!
AMAZING product, it's pricey at almost $60 a gallon, but if you have track pads or just wheels that get filthy, it's worth it! I cut it 1:1 with water and it still clings like crazy! Spray it on, let it dwell for 10-15 minutes and agitate with your favorite brush. (I recommend the SwissVax Wheel Brush reviewed earlier) And then rinse off!

And I failed to mention it smells like bubble gum. It's delicious. I want to drink it.

im gonna guess you shouldnt, does it keep wheels clean or something, i have track pads on the front and those wheels are always lookin rusted
It's just a heavy duty wheel cleaner. It's made to "suspend" or cling to the wheels without drying or running off. Longer dwell time = less time scrubbing with it. I just dilute it with an equal part of water, spray it on, let it dwell for 10 minutes, agitate it a little bit with my Swissvax Wheel Brush and then rinse clean! It's a fantastic product. I'm hoping the other beta testers love it as much as I do and it can go live on the site next week.

mmm bubble gum scented wheel cleaner. I want. My wheels always seem to look dirty. Especially the inside, that's ugly... How long would you say a gallon would last the average joe, using it once a weekish, diluted 1/2 with water?
Months, if not a year. You REALLY don't need to use much product. Doing several cars a week I use maybe half a gallon a month. If that.
It should be up on the site Monday or Tuesday!

Neat. This spring I want to buy a bunch of detail stuff because I'm sick of Autozone stuff. This will most likely be included!
Good! Let me know what you need -- I'll recommend what I can. The vendor I linked to is one that I use for a LOT of things.

Probably the major stuff like wash/clay/wax/wheel cleaning/mf towels etc. Interior protectant/tire shine and whatnot I don't mind going cheap.
I want to take it to a detail shop to let the pros do a serious thrashing to get the swirls and scratches out before I get a paint job, then I can maintain it until then.
It's live!

Live on the site! It's fairly pricey, and it looks like they've changed the label... but if you read the dilutio ratio, it says 6:1!!! GREAT value.
Just ordered another gallon -- stocking up while I was putting an order through. This stuff is fantastic!
