Should this be diluted and if so what ratio?

It is best to do a search before asking.
Most use it between 1:1 and 1:4, depending on the task.

Depends on how dirty your wheels are.If my wheels are filthy I go full strength.

Exactly...I wouldn`t use it full stregnth too often and after using it full strength I would polish and seal the wheels . After sealing the wheels , then only soap and water would be needed or a weak dilution.
For those with really bad brake dust problems, ie owners of BMW, Porsche, Volvo etc.. 1:1 or 2:1 will suffice to clean the wheels with no scrubbing.
Some have diluted 4:1 for maintenence, but I personally haven`t tried that dilution.

If you clean your wheels, and top them with PB`s wheel sealer a gallon on S&R will go A LONG WAY. I cut it 6:1 on maintained wheels these days and use Steve`s foam spray head.


On neglected wheels, I start with 50/50 and move up if needed.

I`ve had to use it full strength most of the time on my VW`s rims. The amount of brake dust combined with tire shine stuff that gets on them makes it pretty tough to clean.
