The Tar X is excellent if you have a light coloured car too. Expensive compared to tardis but it smells of oranges instead of thinners so thats a bonus

I got a meguairs clay kit and used that on my car properly for the first time this weekend, previously did one panel and was suprised, but after going over the car twice the clay was black and looked about fit for the bin ! Can you wash and re use the clay bars or is once they are filthy its bin time? I might try some of this stuff, is it like an alternative to claying?

p.s on the post i put up about it im sure someone said if u actually clay the car with all the tiny metal flakes still on then claying makes the paint worse. Ironx is a chemical that reacts with the metal flakes and harmlessly gets rid of, giving u a perfect clean surface to begin claying

so this stuff is safe to use on all paint surfaces, i have seen it used on wheels before to good effect.

now they just need to invent a product that provides motivation to get off the sofa to use these products on the car

been reading about this stuff, there is a similar product called wolf's deironizer.

same kind of thing for wheels/bodywork but smells 100 times better than rotting eggs lol

has anyone used any of the wolfs stuff?

similar price etc so considering my options lol

Without being too long winded, iron x is better than the Wolfs stuff
