Today I had a 2008 BMW 7 series to do that was about a bad as you can get. Wheels looked like they hadn't EVER been touched. First I tried an over-the-counter $7 wheel cleaner just to see how much it would get. After brushing, it got the loose stuff off. But, then again, with a brush - so will water! Then I tried the Sonax Full Effect. Got quite a bit more off. Brushed it too. But the stubburn stuff stayed ... until I got the IronX out! Wow ... just, WOW! Wheels look absolutely new! Now to the paint.The Bimmer is white, so I wish you coulda been here to see the paint turn purple as it lifted the iron deposits out. Incredible!
All I can say is WOW! I have been using full effect wheel cleaner for 2years and it's a great product but this is like full effect wheel cleaner on steroids. I'm not kidding either. I couldnt believe how fast and how much it removes. It out performs full effect by twice as good results. This stuff is amazing!!!
. I recently used this product on my wife's Diamond White 2011 Mercedes-Benz GL. During my spring detail, I noticed a tremendous amount of "rail debris" along the rear hatch and the running boards. The rust blooms were very noticable on the white surface. I was nervous to just clay these areas so I ordered up the Car-Pro Iron-X. I thought about the soap, but after a bit of research, decided that product was not strong enough for my needs. The Iron-X worked great! Removed the rail debris with minimal work on a multitude of surfaces.
I purchased the 1L bottle and just poured it into an extra, clean spray bottle. I had no ill effects on any of the chrome or rubber trim. The only problem is the smell! It smells like the bad part of Sonax Full Effect wheel cleaner...terrible smell...but I'll use it again...maybe with rubber gloves next time!
Does exactly what it say it will - heavy odor, but a small price to pay for work it does for you.
Pro: Definitely nice to see all the embedded particles leeching out of your paint. Very simple to use (I simply applied to entire car (after a test spot), waited 5 minutes or so, then washed off (no sponge).
Con: Washing off was a bit of an ordeal as the product penetrated areas that continue to drain for a long while (e.g. trunk light area, most door jambs, side mirrors). I did more than a couple of re-rinses on trouble areas and several extra wipes. Not sure if I did something wrong, but I'd suggest budgeting extra drying and rinsing time.
I had to purchase a product that would clean brake dust that had encrusted and sintered itself to the aluminum clearcoat wheel....looked like someone hadn't washed the wheels in years. I would have liked to see it more aggressively attack the fouling but eventually, combined with a stainless steel bristle brush and 4 hours of work, remove the encrusted brake dust from said wheels. You can see the product react with the brake dust when it turns purple which tells you that it is working. Product smells nice although they cover their ass by telling you to wear a respirator (on the label). Most people won't need to remove hardened brake dust that feels like 1/32" rust on their aluminum wheels but if you do I have not encountered a product that will do it better than IronX....not muriatic acid (Eagle 1 Mag Cleaner), Turtle Wax F21 or Eagle One A2Z cleaner...the off the shelf cleaners work differently than IronX. Remember that this product has a 1 year shelf-life, according to the manufacturer.
have used this product for almost year and love it. must have for white cars. removed a lot of brake dust. good for cars with big brake (performance brakes) from factory as well
