It is VERY expensive. Meguiar’s Wheel Brightener is 1/4 the price is of Diablo and works better. Diablo does not have the brake dust cleaner that turns purple either. Chemical Guys does offer their Iron Decon wheel cleaner with the purple color change, which is much better and cheaper.

Diablo is $60/gallon. Meguiars D140 Wheel Brightener $15.40/gallon. CG Iron deconns $70/gallon but it takes less.

Found this on Costco:

Chemical Guys 13-piece Car Wash Bucket with TORQ Foam Blaster

Kit Includes:
1. Heavy Duty Detailing Bucket (4.5 gal) with Cyclone Dirt Trap Insert
2. TORQ Foam Blaster Foam Wash Gun
3. 16 oz-Honeydew Snow Foam Auto Wash
4. 16 oz-Butter Wet Wax
5. 16 oz-Silk Shine Sprayable Dressing
6. 16 oz-Signature Series Window Cleaner
7. 16 oz-Diablo Wheel & Rim Cleaner
8. Waffle Weave Streak Free Drying Towel
9. Short Handle Car Care Brush
10. Applicator with Hex Surface
11. Scratch Free Chenille Wash Mitt
12. 3 Professional Grade Microfiber Towels

$69.99

Saw a Chemical Guys video, and the guy was showcasing a new bottle, so guessing this is an old kit?
Add another bucket and grit guard to the process so you have one for bucket for washing and one for rinsing. There is all kinds of info out there on the two bucket wash method.

Talking

The Diablo wheel cleaner works for me. My foam cannon with either Mr. Pink or Honey Dew will cover my car in foam without hesitation using my electric pressure washer. I use a lot of their products. So far I have been happy with just about everything I tried. The only down side is the 1 gallon containers the soap comes in all start to leak from the bottom over time.

Weird. I have literally dozens of their gallon jugs and none have leaked. Contact their customer service. Maybe they send you a free 16 oz for your loss. Can't hurt to try, that stuff is expensive.

Yea you should call them. I ordered a gallon of Eco smart and it was missing about 20 ounces. They sent me another gallon and I kept the first one too.

I called today. The customer service rep was not interested. She told me I should shake the bottle every so often to keep the chemicals mixed up. She said to keep them cool and out if direct sunlight. The jugs are in a basement without a window. Oh well. I will not order so much extra products from now on.

I bought that exact kit during the eBay fathers day sale. The foam gun on E setting is decent for what it is. I also bought two big jugs of the CG car wash. Absolutely love the stuff. Their wheel cleaner works well, but I find myself using more of it that Adam's.

All of their stuff smells fantastic!
