Chemical Guys Signature Series Wheel Cleaner — 1 Gallon (128 fl oz), Concentrated Citrus Formula Safe on All Wheel Finishes

Chemical Guys Signature Series Wheel Cleaner is a concentrated, citrus-based formula that dissolves brake dust, road grime, and grease on virtually any wheel finish for a showroom-ready shine.

This pro-strength wheel cleaner is formulated to tackle the stubborn contaminants that collect on wheels and tires while remaining safe for painted, powder-coated, chrome, polished, anodized, and custom finishes. Designed to be super concentrated, the 128 fl oz (1 gallon) concentrate can be diluted for regular maintenance or used stronger for heavy buildup. Its citrus extracts and advanced cleaners break down iron particles and carbon deposits from brakes, helping reveal the original finish without harsh etching when used as directed.

How does this cleaner remove brake dust without harming wheel finishes?

The Signature Series uses citrus-derived surfactants and powerful cleaning agents that loosen baked-on brake dust and grime without aggressive acids. It’s engineered to penetrate crevices and lift contaminants so they rinse away instead of being scrubbed into the finish.

• Safe on painted, powder-coated, anodized, chrome, polished and custom wheels when diluted correctly.
• Citrus extracts break down grease and organic residues for easier agitation and rinsing.
• Formulated to loosen iron and carbon brake particles for safer removal.

What dilution and application method work best for regular maintenance?

For routine cleaning, mix the product at the recommended 4:1 water-to-concentrate ratio to balance cleaning power and economy. Spray the solution on cool wheels, agitate with a soft wheel brush, then rinse thoroughly to avoid spotting.

• Recommended dilution: 4 parts water to 1 part cleaner for weekly or biweekly washes.
• For heavy brake dust, reduce dilution slightly or apply directly to problem areas before brushing.
• Use a soft-bristled wheel brush and a pressure rinse for best results.

Will this product work on tires, calipers, and other undercarriage parts?

Yes — the formula is versatile for wheel wells, calipers, plastic covers, and tire sidewalls as well as the wheel face. It safely strips stubborn grime from rubber and painted components without leaving greasy residues when rinsed properly.

• Restores whitewall appearance and preps tire sidewalls for dressing applications.
• Safe for painted calipers and suspension parts when rinsed and not left to dry on hot surfaces.
• Effective on plastic wheel covers and undercarriage grime with appropriate dilution.

How concentrated is the gallon size and how much cleaning does it provide?

At full strength the gallon contains a professional-grade concentrate meant to be diluted for most jobs, which significantly increases the number of cleanings you can perform. This makes the 128 fl oz size economical for individuals, detail shops, and fleet maintenance.

• Super concentrated formula: mix for light maintenance or use stronger for heavy contamination.
• One gallon yields many gallons of ready-to-use cleaner when diluted per instructions.
• Cost-effective for multiple vehicles or repeated detailing sessions.
