i have ran out of the normal spray on iron x and just looking i have seen that they now do a paste. sounds like a good idea for wheels etc.

just wondering if anyone has used it before??

might buy some and give it a blast

 

no one?

 

different question for you fudgey, what do you think of the iron X, would you rate it? seen it on the PB but have never used it.

 

yeah i would actually mate, its bloody good stuff for wheels.

one thing thos is that as you need to wash the wheels off as much as poss with a sponge etc its probably best to dry them after before lashing the iron x over them, but i never bother but it does run off a bit.

it is very good stuff tho and if you use a wheel brush to get the stubborn marks off it makes it better.

only downside is it fucking stinks of rotten eggs lol!

thought i had a close up of the wheels but i dont. they did look like new after tho!
plan is to take the wheels off the puma and the cmax and clean them inside and out properly.



cheers dude

 

There's a pick of a series 1 that had Ben in storage with iron x all over it some were on this forum

Looks well cool

 

I've got a couple close ups of iron x from cars I've detailed recently..



before with iron x on:






after, all cleaned and sealed:





Thanks, Joe

 

Top stuff Joe. what do you use to seal the wheels with as i have never put anything on them before? and does it help stop the brake dust sticking to the wheels?

and, finally do you dry the wheels off after washing them first, or just spray the iron x on while still wet?

cheers bud

 

I normally blast the wheels with a pressure washer, then iron x when wet (i normally dilute it a bit in the bottle as well to mae it last a bit longer), leave for 5 minuted then pressure wash again. I do find that they do get dirtier quicker though, I guess as I don't wash them with shampoo they aren't getting any sort of waxy stuff that the shampoo might have in it. I have thought about using sealer too, but my life's too short to seal 4 19" multispoke wheels

 

does the iron-x actually removed the iron based particles, or just highlight them so a stiff brush and detergent can remove them?

 

in the pic of the wheel above, the purple stuff is the contaminants that have been removed from the wheel and now dripping off.

so yes, it removes the stuff but on stubborn bits, like in the corners of a spoke where you get a build up of thicker brake dust, it may need agitating with a brush to get it all off

 

I just spray iron x on dry before I even get the hose out! leave to settle for 10minutes whilst I do other stuff, then take a pressure washer straight to them, I wash them with shampoo that I use on my car and wash off again, then I will seal them with zaino show car sealant and finally wax them, yes I know it's anal but it stops the break dust sitting on the wheels when I wash them again so they are like new!

As above it removes breakdust and stubborn marks etc

Thanks, Joe

 

never thought of just spraying it on before they have been even cleaned lol

good idea that, i think ill just order some more of the spray then.

cheers boys

 

Just ordered some so will see what its like. Also got some poorboy wheel sealant to finish it off.
