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...
 
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!!!
 
My sprayer works great, its meant to foam for extra cling. The stuff smells like it is acidic and they recommend a really short dwell time so I'll bet it's got some in it.
 
I've used hot rims for a couple years now with no problems with the sprayers. It does not smell pleasant and it will take your breathe away if you get too close when spraying, but it does work well.



That's my $.02, from someone who is extremely new to the detailing world.....as you can see from this being my first post!
 
I was gonna add also that I don't see the point of a wheel cleaner on well maintained wheels. I only use this stuff on a customers car with buildup to save time. Only my cars, I just use carwash shampoo and water with minor agitation. This stuff just seems to strong to use regularly. I mean I have all the protection on my wheels that I have on my paint and I would imagine these products would strip the sealant and wax off with ease. So just my 2 cents but I only use wheel cleaners on neglected stuff prior to sealing or polishing.
