I recently tried their Hot Rims wheel cleaner as well, I got it in the 7-piece kit from Wal Mart. You`re right, the sprayer is pretty bad. I`m thinking of pouring mine in a cheap spray bottle with a better sprayer.
As far as diluting it with water you should be fine. Sorry, never found a wheel cleaner that doesn`t smell terrible.

i would just transfer it to another bottle. i wouldn`t dilute it, you may take away some of the effectiveness. i suppose you can always take a small amount and see what happens...

Hello
As far as i know its acid free. Its pretty safe, i think its mainly a bunch of intense cleaners in an alkali mix.

Maybe I got lucky, cause my sprayer worked fine and I was decently impressed with the product.

Simple Green works unbelieveably well and is also ok on raw aluminum (as recommended by Fikse) when diluted.
Meg`s All Wheel (pink bottle) works really well for me on heavy brake dust, but thats about the only time I`ll use it. Its pretty strong and I`ve had two bottles that the sprayers were great...I`m actually still using them with diluted Simple Green.

Have to agree. I`ve also discovered that it works really well in rather high
dilutions. I`ve been using a 1:6 mix and it does a great job in dissolving
dirt, etc., without any harmful effects, whatsoever.
Originally, when I first started using SG, I was told to use strong concentrations.
But, I have found that it actually works better when cut with plenty of water. Just
my opinion.

Chicago: You`re right; I use 4:1 and 6:1 just about everywhere and it works great.
Hockey: I`ve used it on GM factory painted/silver wheels and Ford Chrome wheels with no issues...just don`t let it sit on there too long. Follow the instructions and wash/rinse one wheel at a time.

I use diluted Simple green or else Eagle One Aluminum Wash & Cleaner on my stock aluminum wheels and they both work equally as well IMO.

That`s what I use on my personal vehicles, absolutely no problems yet!!!
