Default IRON.X

Came in post this am and just used it for the first time, did my wheels and the stuff is amazing, I do look after my wheels but brake dust still builds up and has been ground in for a while now with normal wheel cleaners not shifting it, 5 minutes with iron x and the stuff jet washed straight off.

Was not expecting to be this good so no before shots but here is an after, oh and wheels are about 4 years and 30k miles old!

It's absolutely amazing stuff, I've used others but feel there not as good.

The days of white wheels, They were torture.

Is this the stuff that turns pink when metal filings are found or similar?

Is it easy as spray / brush on, leave and then rinse off? Man I gotta get me some of that!

Yes that's the stuff, Really simple to use. Spray on, Agitate a touch leave for a couple of minutes then wash off.

Once your wheels are cleaned, this stuff is fantastic to protect them:

The Shield car polish/wax/whatever-it-is is also absolutely great.

I've never used IronX on wheels as mine are religiously coated with sealant, so a quick wipe with shampoo is usually enough.

Excellent stuff though, I thought I had loads of specs of rust coming through on my bonnet a while ago - but Iron-X completely cleared it, was just filings which has bedded in.

You can use it on the paintwork as well. I do it on my Impreza with it being White everything shows up on it. Iron-X really helps get rid of the crap on it!



This was just on the N/S/R door on my Hatch STI.
