Out of interest, what is IronX, whats it do? I've seen it talked about, but whats the crack with it?

 

It basically liquifies steel fragments to make them easier to remove.

I had a load of angle grinder sparks burnt into one of my cars paint and my mrs used that ironX stuff on it, it turned to a purple liquid that washed off, same for cleaning up steel from brakes on allow wheels.
Seems to work really well.

 

Ye? Clever stuff, hows it manage to dissolve the ferrous particles but not damage paint?! Might give that a try then, i live next to a railway embankment and our cars get quite a bit off what i would assume is fallout off it

 

Yes, you need Iron x in your life.

 

Its good shit

 

Well thats fairly conclusive, thanks chaps I assume its not cheap gear, where can i get some?

 

Polished bliss did sell it (not sure if they still do as they changed it for wolfs because its half the price),there are a couple of other alterantives that work in the same way,purple rain by autobright,and wolfs de ironizer,have a look on detailingworld theres a few traders on there selling it

 

I recently Iron-X'd my series 1, It's been freshly painted a year ago and hasn't been on the road since, However it has been in an environment where metal has been ground, but I always made sure it was well away from any metal filings, clearly never far away enough

I'll let the pics speak for themselfs:



Practically the whole car was like this

You use Iron-X before clay barring, can be used on alloy wheels also.

 

does it work as an alloy wheel general cleaner or is it just for removing these metal particles?

 

No it's not a cleaner, it's to remove contaminants (I.e. the metal particles) use Bilberry cleaner on your wheels. It's pretty much the best safe cleaner to use.

 

here's some ironx being used on alloys, top stuff buy some if you can,

 

I've used bilberry, don't really rate it that much to be honest. Cos I'm a bit of a lazy bastard I just want something I can spray on and rinse off, job jobbed. Not really found the bilberry does any more than ordinary soap and water.

 

That's exactly the stuff I'm trying to remove from my wheels, bits that get stuk in the corners of the spokes that just don't shift. Looks like I'll give this stuff a go

 

this is were i got my stuff from

I bought the purple rain stuff (just like iron-X) from autobrite. Only thing is it stinks like fart gas/rotten eggs

Here is what its like in action

One dirty wheel


Sprayed on and left for 15 mins



Then scrub with a soft brush



Then rinse




Sealed with poor boys


Then went out and finished the other 3 wheels
