So i finally was able to bust out my new bottle of Diablo wheel gel. My first impressions was that i dont see how a gel can really remove brake dust, and like most wheel cleaners there is a lil agitation required. I have used Iron x, Sonax Full effect, Meguiars Hot rims all wheel cleaner, and Megs Wheel Brightner.
So heres the bottle

and like the instructions say 1 ounce to every 3 ounces of water.

only used about 35to 40% of the bottle to fill up my 16 oz mercury DA bottle
Here are my weapons of choice for rims and tires

So i sprayed it down and let it sit for about 5 minutes and began agitating with my brushes and here are the results with very little effort

Final thoughts:
Compared to all the others wheel cleaners i have played with i would say this is the best so far, because when agitating it gets soapy and very lathering gives you allot of time to play with it. Megs All wheel cleaner i love because it cleans and foam the tires well.
Diablo 9.99 a 16oz bottle at 1oz product to 3 oz of water
Megs all wheel cleaner roughly around 10.99 to 12.99 and RTU maybe about 8 rims depending on the size of rims and tires.
Sonax requires allot of agitation and at 15 a bottle 16.9 oz
Iron x same as sonax 19.99 500ml
Megs wheel brightner 19.99 for A GALLON! apparently makes 16 32 oz bottles. it says no scrubbing to hardly at all required, of course depending on the severity of the rim.
Diablo best bang for you buck and time spent working on each rim. i will be buying this by the gallon from now on
So heres the bottle
