I just ordered Diablo specifically for weekly cleaning of my wheels that are in excellent condition. What's a good ratio for weekly cleaning? I ordered CarPro Trix for when I come across heavy contaminated/dirty wheels.

For heavy duty cleaning Diablo can be left more concentrated 1:4 or 1:6 for regular. This is off their website. I use this stuff at 1:4 for my car.

Mark, I've gone through a few gallons of this stuff. Your wheels are way too clean for 1:6. I would try 1:8 or even 1:10.

Trix is some knarly stuff unless your wheels are real contaminated.

I was thinking 1:6-1:10 as well. I'll try in the middle.

Most of the cars I detail, the wheels are pretty contaminated, especially the barrels. TRIX will make quick work for me.

Now diluting the diablo would I be able to use it As a soak like the poor boys wheel rinse ? Basically spray on and hose down with zero dirt left so there is no need to clean with a sponge or agitate the dirt ?

Also what else can diablo be used for?

Diablo definitely needs to be agitated. It's not an acidic wheel cleaner like PB's Spray & Rinse. Diablo is safe for ALL wheel finishes, unlike PB's.

What else is it used for ? The PBs rinse works well but leaves a white haze after spraying it and hosing down. I'm sure pro long use will damage my clear coat on the rims.

It's a wheel cleaner. That's what it was designed for.

It is. I would only use it on the exterior, though.

so what would you recommend for wheels and tires maybe some engine bay degreasing?
