CG Diablo Gel wheel cleaner
Im looking for some reviews on this product.
Hopefully someone out there have used this product before and the sonax full effect as well....

Im wondering what's the different between the 2... like sonax is stronger? Or is diablo better?

I've never used Full Effect, but I do use Diablo. I personally like it. I use it 3:1 and it cleans fine. Yeah, you need to agitate with brushes, but I don't find that to be a problem. Because I don't use it on anything but uncoated wheels I have never tried another safe wheel cleaner.

Full effect is a good wheel cleaner. It cleans very well, and has the smell of a fresh perm. It will however rust brake calipers. I reserve it for very dirty wheels.

Doesnt full effect act like Ironx? I mean it cleans the wheel but doesnt it also get rid of iron deposits like ironx?

The powdercoated finish on brake calipers is extremely tough. Anything safe for painted wheels is should be safe for them. When you get them clean, wax, seal, or quik wax the calipers and they'll be easier to clean.
