- Hey. What's up, guys?
Welcome back to Chemical Guys Detail Garage.
Today, I will be going over all the different types
of wheel cleaners we offer.
Why? Because every car has different types of wheels.
By that I mean, some cars have matte wheels, chrome,
aluminum, powder-coated, or anodized,
or any other wheel finishes.
So in this video,
I will be going over every single wheel cleaner
so you could find out which is the best one for you.
Let's get started.
(upbeat music)
So, as you guys can see,
I have my wheel cleaners laid out
from Diablo Gel, all the way to Orange Degreaser.
Why? Because Diablo Gel is going to be the safest
and Orange Degreaser is going to be for the heaviest grime.
But let's begin with Diablo Wheel Gel.
Diablo Wheel Gel is actually very concentrated
and it has to be diluted.
Whether you dilute it into a bucket method system
or in a secondary sprayer bottle.
So Diablo Wheel Gel works on all types of wheels,
matte, aluminum, chrome, et cetera, right?
So Diablo Wheel Gel,
whenever you dilute a secondary spray bottle
and you spray it onto the surface
is actually going to foam it up.
We recommend diluting Diablo Wheel Gel
in a ducky spray bottle.
You'll see it right here. (dings)
But whenever you dilute it into secondary spray bottle,
you spray onto the surface.
Like I said, it's going to foam up.
It's going to go and cling onto the,
all the dirt grime debris brake dust
and it's going to go and help you
remove as safely as possible whenever using quality brushes.
Whenever you want ceramic coating on your wheels
and you do not want to harm it,
I recommend going Diablo Wheel Gel.
It's going to be the safest wheel cleaner we offer
to remove any brake dust, grime debris,
from any types of wheel.
So now we're going to be
moving on to Sticky Citrus Wheel Gel.
This is a step higher than Diablo Gel.
So Sticky Citrus Wheel Gel is a citrus based product
that still works on all types of wheels.
But then this is for a step higher
if you have heavier brake dust,
grime debris that are sitting on your wheels,
calipers, rotors, or even suspension work.
Whenever you spray it on there,
Sticky Citrus Wheel Gel, is going to cling onto the surface
and not run off.
It's going to penetrate it,
so whenever you come with your quality brushes
and you scrub it down, it's going to make wheel cleaning
a lot, much easier.
If you have heavier grime debris
and you do not wash your wheels as frequently as possible,
then we recommend moving it up
to Signature Series Wheel Cleaner.
Signature Series Wheel Cleaner
is also a citrus based product, but is highly concentrated.
We recommend aluminum four to one
whenever using any types of wheels,
but do not use this on matte wheels.
Unfortunately, it is too harsh
and this will add some type of shine to your wheel,
so do not use it on matte wheels.
So Signature Series Wheel Cleaner works amazing
on heavy grime and feel.
It's still safe for all types of wheels, except matte.
It's going to penetrate the dirt, grime, pull it off easier.
This is a perfect product to use whenever your wheels
do not get cleaned as frequently as possible.
Signature Series is going to penetrate the grime
and remove it safely and easily as possible.
Just a couple sprays onto the tire and wheels,
scrub it down, rinse it off and you're good to go.
So if you want to take your wheel cleaning
even to next level
and you're that person that has heavy amounts of brake dust.
Like for example, you wash your car today,
two days after driving it,
you have heavy amount of brake dust.
That's when I recommend using Decon.
So Decon Iron Remover is not safe for all types of wheels.
We do not recommend using on matte wheels.
So Decon Iron Remover actually decontaminates the surface
of the wheel.
By that, whenever you sprayed onto a surface,
you might see a chemical reaction.
That chemical reaction is actually going to be purple.
That means it is decontaminating the servers of the wheel.
But if Decon does not turn purple on you,
that does not mean it's not working.
It is still working,
but all that means is your face, your wheel
does not have so many iron particles.
We recommend spraying onto the surface,
letting it dwell on your face of wheel
for three to five minutes.
Decon can also be using on painted surfaces
to decontaminate.
But whenever you're cleaning any type of wheel,
we always recommend cleaning it while it's cool.
Do not clean it once you just finished driving it.
If you just finished driving it,
we recommend parking your car,
letting it sit for an hour or so
and then you clean up your wheels.
So now we're going to be moving on to Orange Degreaser.
So a degreaser can also be used to clean your wheels
such as Orange Degreaser.
But whenever using Orange Degreaser,
we recommend diluting it.
Never use it full strength on any type of wheel.
If you want heavy duty cleaning, we recommend diluting it.
Six parts water to one part chemical.
If you want medium duty cleaning,
we recommend diluting it 10 to 15 parts water
to one part Orange Degreaser.
And for light duty cleaning, we recommend diluting it
25 through 40 parts water to one part chemical.
That is right. Orange Degreaser is highly concentrated
and must be diluted.
If you're not a person that knows how to dilute
or as good at diluting,
we recommend staying on the left side
of which is Sticky Citrus or Diablo Wheel Gel.
If you do know what type of wheels you have,
and they are not matte,
we recommend using this side over here.
