Review on Chemical Guys CLD_997_16 Diablo Cleaner by Jonathan Unruh

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Unfortunately. Extremely disappointed.

Let me start by saying that I'm a big Chemical Guys fan. I have a couple of their products, towels, a $100 foam gun which I bought at the same time as another very popular and much cheaper foam gun with great reviews but settled on the guys at Chemical which are almost three times the price . Green snow foam and some mittens and brushes. ss as well as other sealants and sprays. I really wish this was the best wheel cleaner I've tried since I just bought an X model and want it to be clean and tight. Unfortunately it just didn't work, I bought a big bottle, made a spray solution and a separate bucket to wash my wheels. I apply it generously and go to the next wheel, spray it on and go back to the previous one using my split brush in one pass, my wool and spoke microfiber towel, then rinse and then with a blower. After that each wheel looks partially finished and I have to microfiber it again and work fast before it looks clean. Considering the price, I expect this will be a game changer. It's not like this. I came off the Armor all extreme foaming wheel cleaner that I used on my last car which was amazing, literally almost effortless. spray. wash off Touch up a little with a rag and you're done. Only 3-4 minutes for each wheel with 22 double spokes. Attached is a photo of the dirty car. This stuff takes me three passes and 8-10 minutes per wheel, so about 40 minutes just for the wheels. I like keeping my stuff in order, but I just can't waste my time when there's an easier and more efficient way. Not sure about the return policy but I have used it 3 times already and just want to get rid of it as it frustrates me to waste so much time and money on something that doesn't work (for me). others have better results. I do not know. I read all the reviews before buying this as I am a research chief anatic before buying anything. I was hoping the good reviews would be more accurate than the bad. They weren't. (to me)

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Protection
