  • Iron X - any opinions?

    Just seen this video:



    Then googled it:
    Highly effective, acid-free and pH balanced (6~7pH) car paint, wheels & glass cleaner (safe for all wheels including aluminum and alloys). This formulation is also effective and safe for use on all car surfaces and will not deteriorate clear coats.

    Airborne chemical compounds and ferrous particles - particles containing iron - actually penetrate the paint and create corrosive compounds that eat deep into the paint's sub-layers or paint’s pin-holes. This is a gradual process that often is not evident until it's too late. Claying or polishing only removes the particle, not its effects, which are continuing to spread beneath the surface.

    During the use of your vehicle, brake dust and road grime become sintered to the surface of the car paint, rims and wheels due to the high temperature conditions they are normally exposed. Brake dust contains high levels of iron and once sintered to the rim, becomes extremely difficult to dissolve or remove without the use of harsh chemicals.

    Iron X opens up the paint's pores to release ferrous particles and to neutralize caustic compounds that have developed in the paint's subsurface. Ongoing damage is immediately stopped and future damage is prevented by removing the ferrous particles.

    Iron X sprays on as a thick, transparent, as the cleansing liquid begins to work into the dirt and grime, the formula begins to turn purple/ red. The purple/red coloration is the Iron X Cleaner forming a bond to the sintered iron on the car paint and wheel and changing its state to a water soluble complex for easy removal. Stubborn, baked on grime may take a small amount of agitation. Rinse car paint and wheels thoroughly with a power washer and wipe dry.
    It's been mentioned in a few posts.

    Does anyone use/recomend or think its rubbish and not good to use etc?

    Hi Joni,

    It's fantastic stuff. You don't need it regularly - it's great on the wheels occasionally too.

    I recommed Purple Rain from Autobrite which is the equivalent stuff, I demo it on every 'back to basics' course I instruct on.

      Thanks Clive

      Now to wait for the hosepipe ban to expire.

      At which stage of cleaning should it be used? I think it says after you have cleaned the car?

        Joni,

        If using on wheels then use it straight on there.

        If you want to do the whole car then you can wash it normally, then use Purple Rain, then re-wash it...

        A good high pressure hose helps (as in Pressure Wash).

        Here's some pics from the last course I instructed on where we used Purple Rain on the wheels....
