Prices may varyThe manufacturer's Safety Data Sheet classifies this product with one or more GHS Category 1 health hazards — the most severe tier. The hazard statements in quotes below are the verbatim GHS language from the SDS, as required by OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard. The line under each statement translates the GHS classification into plain language.
GHS Category 1 aspiration toxicity — thin, oily liquids can slip into the lungs if swallowed, causing chemical pneumonia.
If swallowed, inhaled, or splashed in eyes:
Call Poison Control immediately at 1-800-222-1222 (US, 24/7, free) and have the product container with you. Poison Control's standing guidance is to not induce vomiting after chemical exposure; they will direct first-aid steps based on the specific product.
About this product's hazards. This product's Safety Data Sheet uses signal word danger. Read the manufacturer's SDS and follow all safety instructions before use. CarCareTruth ratings translate the manufacturer's safety sheet. They do not replace the SDS or substitute for a hazard assessment specific to your task.
Health score is for adult use as intended, per the manufacturer's SDS. It does not model child ingestion, accidental spill cleanup, or off-label use. See the safety panel below for full hazard classification, and /disclaimer for the full editorial scope.
GHS hazard codes are quoted from the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet. PPE tiers below translate those codes and the listed ingredient chemistry; they are not CarCareTruth recommendations.

From the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
“H319 (serious eye irritation Cat 2A) in SDS §2 combined with DANGER signal word driven by health H-codes warrants eye protection at wheel-height working angle.”

TL;DR Community tracks 8-12 months of water-beading and easier brake-dust removal on daily drivers with no chalking through a full season. DANGER signal word from petroleum solvent carrier; wear safety goggles and nitrile gloves, apply outdoors or with garage door open, keep away from ignition sources.
DLUX creates a heat-stable hydrophobic barrier on alloy wheels, plastic trim, rubber, and metal that causes brake dust and grime to release more easily at each wash. Manufacturer rates heat resistance to over 800°F; community confirms no chalking through a full season of street use, though no track-cycling data exists. Apply small sections with the included applicator sponge, buff off within a 10-15 minute window per wheel, cure 24 hours before water contact; 30 mL covers 4 wheels plus trim. Prep: iron decontamination then IPA wipe. Community-confirmed durability: 8-12 months on a weekly-washed daily driver.
Best for daily drivers who want less time on iron remover and wheel scrubbing without a full professional prep process. Clear-coated, gloss powder-coated, and polished aluminum finishes are confirmed compatible. Skip it for track use; no community evidence of high-heat cycling performance exists.
DANGER signal word from petroleum solvent carrier; H304 (aspiration hazard) means do not induce vomiting if ingested, seek medical attention. Safety goggles and nitrile gloves are warranted by H319 (eye irritation Cat 2A) and H315 (skin irritation Cat 2) in SDS §2. Apply away from flames; H226 flammable liquid. The SDS discloses toluene at 1-5% (a California Prop 65 developmental toxin) and lists H361 (suspected reproductive toxin) and H373 (suspected organ toxicity from repeated exposure); apply outdoors or with the garage door open and limit repeated bare-skin contact. SDS lists H412 (harmful to aquatic organisms); do not pour down a storm drain. The 1.0/10 health score reflects the DANGER signal word, the H304 aspiration ceiling, the petroleum solvent VOC load, and the disclosed Prop 65 toluene content. Environment score 4.9/10 reflects petroleum VOC load and non-biodegradable carrier.
The Safety Data Sheet for CarPro DLUX Wheel and Trim Coating 30mL carries a DANGER signal word, with classified hazards including H226 (flammable liquid and vapour); H304 (may be fatal if swallowed and enters airways); H315 (causes skin irritation). See the PPE breakdown above for use-case-specific guidance translated from the SDS hazard codes.
CarCareTruth scores CarPro DLUX Wheel and Trim Coating 30mL at 5.7 out of 10 on the composite CCT score, with a health sub-score of 1.0/10. The CCT score blends real-world effectiveness, ingredient health impact pulled from the manufacturer's safety sheet, and environmental footprint against a published category rubric. See the methodology link on this page for the full scoring breakdown.
