The Diablo in the concentrated gel form, diluted in a foaming sprayer is actually more economical than the sticky citrus. They’re both great products though! I’ve yet to find a chemical guys product that I don’t like. (And I have tried A LOT of them)😊 Thank you for the comparison!

So the only thing that I've learned about the sticky citrus is that it is more abrasive than the Diablo. So your Diablo is your standard one that you would use on a day to day and citrus is one that, if used often, would take off any wax or ceramic layer on the tires.

I don’t understand how the Diablo wheel cleaner didn’t foam and just streamed out. I bought the concentrate bottle and mixed it by the description, and it foamed pretty well Honestly, don’t based the wheel cleaner off of it not coming out of the bottle as a "spray" instead of "stream", I have come into contact with some bad bottles from the, and like only 2 bottles, out of the 20+ bottles I bought. If you really wanted a mist and the bottle wasn’t doing it should have swapped to another bottle and I can almost bet that it would have worked properly. See with the Sticky Orange bottle that it sprayed properly, and both are from the same company. There’s your first hand example

I defeated the wheel scrubbing. Use either Purple Power or Super Clean mixed liked you'd use for engine compartment.. Use a real wheel brush (Jimmy's brush appeared to be a body brush, a little too soft and nuts to that short handle). The handle will be longer and a slight angle, the nylon bristles will be stiffer but WILL NOT scratch your rims. The small brush shouldn't be needed if you clean wheels once a month. After your wheels are clean (I can do all four on my truck in less time than Jimmy did one). Use Westley tire bleach or equivalent to clean you tires (follow instructions on bottle closely). After washing the vehicle, use the left over soap to give one more light wash/rinse to the wheels to remove any leftover grime/cleaner. rinse and let dry. Here's the real secret: After tire/wheel is completely clean and dry, spray Westley's silicone tire shine spray lightly but full coverage on the wheel, then thicker on the tire.. Yes the dust that is produced by braking will stick to the wheel but it does anyway by "Ion" charge. The next time, the silicone will allow you to use your car wash soap (after you are done on body), on your wheels. Use a real wheel brush and regular body soap to clean the wheel beautifully in seconds with the regular wheel brush only. Re-apply silicone spray when wheel is completely dry. This works. Used this method for 3 decades on aluminum and chrome wheels.

I’m telling you, check into the mad acid cleaner! It works wonders on the clear coated Chevy rims. Same with Honda rims! I’m waiting on my second bottle to come in the mail, it can’t get here fast enough! It removes the rusted up brake dust on the barrels of your wheels but still leaves plenty of shine without eating up the clear coat. It’s JUST caustic enough to eat up surface rust but balanced enough to not eat through the finish (as long as you don’t let it dry) and it works great on chrome bumpers and exhaust tips too. Pretty much anything you need. It also will remove water spots on your glass. But instead of spraying it directly on the glass, you spray it on a rag and wipe it on, then wipe it off with a damp rag, then dry it with a clean cloth. It’s multi purpose and worth every penny, and they’re always running a 20% discount, sometimes 30%.
