Iron X - Worth it?
« on: October 09, 2013, 02:12:23 pm »
As the title says, Is Iron X worth it?

I am planning on a full detail of my Eddy: Clay, Polish, Seal and wax. My car is pretty clean as it is and am wondering if applying Iron x will benefit the finish?


I have de-tared it and not noticed any other nasty's bound to the paint!

You'd be surprised mate , just because you can't see the iron fallout doesn't mean it's not there - i was really surprised the first time I used iron-x 2 years ago ! Give it a go for part of the decontamination process when it comes round to your next major detail of your car

Use Iron X - it's the original Iron remover and the best overall in my opinion - I've used 3 or 4 different products all of the same.
Be aware some do not change to purple on removal of iron. Some change purple when in contact with the air so be aware of that..

^ This  :happy2:.

Well worth it though. Should make claying easier if you use it on the bodywork.

Iron-X has been used on brand new cars due to fallout present through transport.

Again i would speak to bro-tek on that as a few people have used the same forumla and just changed the name

Iron X is made by CarPro. I do not believe that CarPro sell this to other manufacturers for rebottling. I am well aware of this.

Some other brands are also rebottled things. Angelwax make a popular one that is re-used by at least 2 "boutique" brands (which I will not share -f ind out for yourself).
Bilt Hambers KERROSOL stuff is their own.
