Our wheel and tire cleaning range covers every contamination level and every wheel finish, from daily drivers to show cars.
Diablo Wheel & Rim Cleaner: pH-Balanced For All Wheel Types
Our Diablo Oxygen Infused Foam Wheel and Rim Cleaner is our best tire cleaner and alloy wheel cleaner for regular use across all wheel finishes. The formula is pH-balanced and non-caustic, making it safe on painted, polished, powder-coated, chrome, anodized, and wrapped wheels without the etching risk of acid-based cleaners. The oxygen-infused foam loosens and lifts stuck-on contaminants, including road grime and brake dust, on contact. Spray directly onto the wheel surface, allow it to dwell for several minutes to penetrate and break down contamination, agitate with a brush to work the cleaner into the spokes and barrel, then rinse with a sharp stream of water.
Signature Series Wheel Cleaner: Citrus-Powered For Stubborn Buildup
Our Signature Series Wheel Cleaner is blended with natural citrus extracts that deliver powerful cleaning without harsh synthetic chemicals. The formula removes stubborn dirt, grime, and brake dust containing corrosive iron and carbon deposits. It works on painted, polished, powder-coated, and wrapped wheels as well as plastic wheel covers, brake parts, suspension parts, and fender liners. It also cleans rubber tire sidewalls, ensuring tire shine dressings adhere longer after application. Spray onto a rinsed wheel surface, allow dwell time to break down iron-based grime, agitate with a brush, and rinse clean.
Total Extract Tire & Rubber Cleaner: Dedicated Tire Surface Preparation
Our Total Extract Tire and Rubber Cleaner is purpose-built for tire sidewalls, and tire cleaning products are designed specifically for rubber surfaces. Spray directly onto the tire after rinsing, scrub with a dedicated tire brush to lift embedded dirt and road chemical residue from the rubber pores, then rinse thoroughly. After drying, the tire surface is properly prepared for tire shine, coating, or ceramic protection, ensuring the product bonds cleanly for a consistent, longer-lasting finish.
How To Clean Wheels And Tires Without Causing Damage
The right product applied with the wrong technique still scratches finishes and leaves contamination behind. These steps protect your wheels throughout the process.
- Cool Wheels First: Always ensure wheels and brakes are cool before applying any cleaner; product applied to hot surfaces evaporates before it can dwell and may cause streaking or uneven cleaning.
- Rinse Before You Spray: A sharp pre-rinse removes loose brake dust and softens bonded grime, reducing the amount of agitation needed and lowering the risk of scratching the wheel finish.
- Use Dedicated Wheel Brushes: Soft-bristle spoke brushes and barrel brushes reach between spokes and into the wheel body without scratching; never use the same brush on wheels and paintwork.
- Work One Wheel At A Time: Applying cleaner to all four wheels at once can cause the product to dry before you can rinse it, making removal harder; complete each wheel fully before moving to the next.
A correctly cleaned wheel takes the same amount of time as a carelessly cleaned wheel, but produces a finish that lasts significantly longer.
