IronX Iron Remover: Stops Rust Spots and Pre-Mature Failure of the Clear Coat, Iron Contaminant Removal - 500mL with Sprayer (17oz)

This product works great and exactly as advertised. So first a bit of background about the problem I was faced with and then a review of the product itself... BACKGROUND: Over the years my car has accumulated a bunch of orange specks all over the roof, hood, and doors and I couldn't figure out where it all was coming from! I initially thought it was tree sap since I left my car parked on the street under a tree for an extended period of time (said tree being the only tree for miles since I live in NYC) but the products I bought online and home remedies like isopropyl rubbing alcohol didn't work. Racking my brain, I did more research online and finally found a pretty common problem called "rail dust", which are orange specks on your car that can accumulate, for example, from the tiny little iron flakes emitted from your brake pads whenever you use them. But how could it have gotten over my ENTIRE car I wondered? It just so happens that I live by an elevated train track and also an area where there's a lot of construction. So when I parked under said train track or near construction sites, the subway train track residue, brake flakes from the train, and burning bits of cut steel debris were flying onto my car! The flakes are intensely hot upon impact with the car and embed themselves in the clear coat (top layer of your car's paint). Then, after time, the little metal bits begin to rust from exposure to rain, the elements, etc. Needless to say, I had my work cut out for me but didn't feel like shoveling out hundreds of $$$ to a car detailing shop to fix the problem. That's where IronX came in.... THE REVIEW: For issues with "rail dust", the general recommendation from the car community was use IronX. This stuff works wonders. Since I don't have a house or driveway to wash my own car, and since application of this stuff requires you to work in the shade and have the ability to thoroughly wash down the car, I had to locate a self-service car wash which wasn't easy around these parts but managed to finally find the last existing one in the tri-state area in Mount Vernon. After washing my car, I sprayed this stuff all over, watched the applied spray turn from clear to purple, waited 5 minutes for it to do its magic, then rinsed everything off. The PROS: This stuff works wonders. A lot (but not all) of the orange specks were gone after the first application (I say first because I had to do it again - see CONS below). The car looked noticeably better (apologies for not having before and after photos). I know it would have helped but just take my word for it. This stuff WORKS. Now, for... The CONS: (1) As mentioned above, the rail rust had accumulated on my car over the course of years and it was EVERYWHERE, not just on the side panels as is the case for most users, so this could partially be my fault. Anyway, the smaller bottle (500ml) was not enough to spray my entire car so as I was noticeably running out of fluid I had to use it sparingly on some sections and ran out before the job was finished. I ended up buying the larger bottle (1L) and going back the next weekend for Round 2 and applied the stuff liberally everywhere and got it all off. [Side note: I strongly recommend rubbing the stuff in with a clean, moist sponge before rinsing everything off just to make sure you've gotten it all where it needs to go and evenly.] And (2) This stuff STINKS!! And I cannot overstate this enough. I saw the other reviews and didn't think it was a big deal and went ahead with my project without using a face mask. BIG MISTAKE! The first time with the 500mL bottle honestly wasn't so bad (maybe the wind was blowing away from me the whole time) but the second time with the 1L bottle....that's when it got REALLY bad! The wind changed direction and blew the spray back into my face. The smell was like I got spritzed by a skunk. In the face. At point-blank range. It was bad. Not only in the moment or right after too. I went to a friend's family BBQ later that day and couldn't get the stench out of my nostrils. I kept asking people if they smelled that horrid smell but no one could. It was just me and I felt nauseous for most of the day. So PLEASE....use a face mask. CONCLUSION: Great product and highly recommend for rail rust (aka rusted orange specks on your car's paint). If it looks like you're facing a pretty big job involving multiple panels on the car and/or the wheels, save yourself the trouble and get the larger 1L bottle. And please, for the love of God, wear a face mask when applying this stuff!

I used this to clean brake dust off the aluminum wheels on my car and it worked great. I used a soft brush and it cleaned off all of the hard to remove dust easily. It does smell a bit but not too bad. Highly recommended for this.

I seen a mixed review about this product and I was reluctant to spend $24 for one bottle. But I had break pad break down and spray tons of orange rust on the side of my car. So i went for it! People say it stinks, but i thought it didn't smell much at all especially spraying it outside. Also, it really does turn red-purple as it converts the rust into water. I did spray it and let it sit about 3-5 minutes and then sprayed it off. Then I did it again for another 3 min and scrubbed it with a dish scrubber. I rinsed again. And it really restored my paint job! Some of the rust damaged the clearcoat but as long as the rust is gone, and it looks a lot better. This stuff really does work, but just my tip to make it work is: don't leave it on more than 5 min and rinse it at a car wash...do it a second time at 3 min, and scrub it good until your scrubber is black. Then rinse it again really good with soap and water and also use the scrub brush at the car wash. Rinse clean and the rust stains are gone as you watch the purple liquified rust dust go down the drain!

Bought Iron-X to clean my wheel drums on my car. I took each wheel off and then sprayed the inside drum with this product and works great. Here are the details. First DO NOT use Iron-X in any type of enclosed structure no matter how open air it is, this sh*t smells strong. I took my wheels to the middle of an open field and stood mostly on the upwind side of the tires whilst I was working on them. Anything growing on the ground under the wheels or near them will either die or wish it had. Other items to have on hand with this product would be bricks to raise your wheels/tires off the ground while you are working on them (three per tire should do it), disposable rubber gloves, eye protection, a sponge with a smooth and rough side to it, a connected water hose, paper towels, and a small trash can lined with a plastic garbage bag. I put my rubber gloves on and set up my wheels, sprayed on the Iron-X, let it sit about ten minutes, hosed it off, and then dried wheels off with paper towels. Next I sprayed it on again and took the rough side of the sponge and scrubbed the inside of my wheel drums being careful not to get any of the product on my skin. After I did that I hosed the wheels down again, dried them with paper towels, and then let them air dry for about an hour before sealing them up with Jet Seal. As for the unused Iron-X you may still have in the bottle? While still wearing gloves, I put mine in a zip-lock bag and put it in the outside storage room. Throw your used gloves, sponge, and paper towels in the trash can, tie up the bag, and leave it outside for trash day. Do not bring it in the house. Take off your shoes and hose down their soles before you go trancing through your house. When you do get in your house, take off your clothes, take a shower, and put on clean clothes. I took away one star because the sh*t smells so bad, but hey, what ya gonna do? It works great. I rather it work great smell like sh*t, than the other way around.

Didn't do nothing to rust water stain on the car whereas baking soda powder with water made to pulp showed better results in removing rust water stain on car paint surface.

Es bastante bueno, cumple lo que promete aunque se gasta demasiado, una botella pequeña dura para uno o dos carros, dependiendo el tamaño del vehículo

I purchased this IronX iron remover for use on my white SUV. I was finding those tiny rust marks on the paint. The reviews on this product were good so I gave it a try. First, it does smell bad. Use it in an open area. That said, it does work great. I gave my vehicle a good rinse. Then basically just sprayed it on the areas that needed to be cleaned. Let it sit for a bit. Then wipe off with a damp cloth. Some spots may require some elbow grease, but I found it worked well in removing the rust/iron spots. This product worked very well cleaning tire rims as well. I was quite pleased. It is somewhat pricey but if you don’t mind doing the job yourself, you’ll save on detailing costs.

ベンツGLCのホイールやボディへ鉄板除去剤として使ってます。 塗布後に軽く絞ったマイクロファイバークロスで塗り広げますが、乾きにくく、泡立ちも◎。しっかりと鉄粉を取ってくれます。 鉄粉除去剤の特有な匂いはありますが、どの溶剤も一緒なので、これは仕方ないです。 使いやすいので、リピートを検討中です。

viene bien protegido y sellado, excelente compra
