    Can One Dilute Griots HD Wheel Cleaner?

    Like the title says, I have a bottle of griots heavy duty wheel cleaner and love the way it works.. But I seem to go through quite a bit of it every time I use it. Can I dilute it down without losing too much effectiveness? I clean the car fairly regularly.

    Thanks!

    Thats the downfall to Griots stuff. Works like crazy, but the economy in it just sucks. I never had any luck cutting any of it. I love their interior cleaner, but cant afford to use it.

    If you`re doing maintenance washes on a regular basis there shouldn`t be much dirt, or hard to remove dirt on the wheels. Try cutting it in a small amount and test. I think you`ll get good results.

    I haven`t touched the wheels of my cars with anything but car wash soap since sealing them with BFWD in March and wiping down with Hydro after every wash.

    i really like the griot`s hd wheel cleaner, but try to reserve it for really bad stuff, rather trying to cut it. once my wheels were clean using it, a less expensive apc usually works well for maintenance cleaning.

    Hmm yeah you guys have a point. Maybe I`ll separate some from the bottle, dilute it a bit, and test it out. I`m using it for plastidipped wheels so for the most part they don`t retain brake dust as much as regular wheels do, from my experience.

    I`m also planning on using Klasse HG SG on them so maybe I`ll just need to use car soap every wash to get the dust off
