Iron x, how do I use it.

[Tom]

Right utterly stupid post time. But is there a specific process to use this stuff?

I'm only really interested in using it on wheels, but if I wanted to how would I use it on bodywork?

Cheers.

Ps be nice or I'll ban you.

 

[Scrooge]

Spray it on, leave it, you'll see it streak then clean it off.

 

[Adam.P]

Don't smell it, whatever you do, for the love of god, don't smell it.

 

[Cliotoby]

ash/dry the car first. remove tar.

Spray it on. Wait. Then either wash off or remove with a MF. re wash the car after. Done let it stain the paint.

 

[Gally]

Wash etc, tar remover the spray iron x on the car and leave for a bit watch it work it's magic. Don't apply in the sun or serious heat. It's also fine if the cars wet.

Remove using an MF cloth or just powerwash it off then re-wash/dry apply further products.

Wheels, clean as usual to get the dirt of them then apply iron x to remove the iron. Don't use it as a wheel cleaner it's a waste.

 

[Quid]

Don't smell it, whatever you do, for the love of god, don't smell it.

Hes going to smell it now for sure:rasp:

 

[Tom]

Don't smell it, whatever you do, for the love of god, don't smell it.

Too late. f**k me.

 

[JD]

Too late. f**k me.

And that's the third incarnation of the reduced smell version...

 

[Gally]

Yeah you have the "cherry" version.... f**k me!

 

[JD]

Removing with a MF is a waste of decent MFs, IMO.

This is at least the second detailing thread you've started in as many years, Tom. I'm starting to get worried.

 

[Gally]

I was a little taken aback, i'm thinking he surely hasn't posted in the wrong section...

Yeah I usually PW off then wash. Works just the same.

 

[Matt e]

i like it how they put 'new cherry smell', so you smell and it smells nothing like cherries. it smells rank

 

[Junior Bear]

Does it still smell vile even with the new cherry scent?

 

[Adam.P]

Does it still smell vile even with the new cherry scent?

By Tom's reaction I'd say so!

 

[MartinR]

Does it still smell vile even with the new cherry scent?

^^ I nearly threw up when i smealt it!! smells like perm solution but off

 

[mantis946]

The lid cracked on mine Not been in the garage since - That smell :quiet:

 

[JD]

smells like perm solution but off

I'm not going to ask.

 

[Munson]

Is this before or after clay?

 

[MartinR]

I'm not going to ask.

I wouldn't bother either Flol

 

[Gally]

Is this before or after clay?

Before.

 

[Riad]

Don't use it as a wheel cleaner it's a waste.

I did this! didn't last very long haha

 

[Munson]

Cheers. Might invest. I've got a fair few fallout spots.

 

[JD]

It would work well on your car, Roy, as you have larger brakes, thus heavier fall out.

 

[Chapppers11]

I'd say it smells like bile produced by someone who has just eaten cherries.

That's the only relation it has to the scent of cherries.

 

[daydotz]

gally have you tried trix yet ?

 

[Emma.]

I'm going to have to give it a sniff now when my bottle turns up. I just can't not know lol.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Trust me, there's no need to sniff it if you're within 100m of it. Really REALLY do not sniff it. No, seriously. Do not do this. At all. Ever...

 

[Emma.]

Your making me want to sniff more lol.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Your making me want to sniff more lol.

Ok, knock yourself out but please video it and ask an adult to put it on YouTube whilst you're in hospital or a wooden box

 

[Emma.]

Lol, ok I will film the sniff test and post it up.

Its like someone saying, "don't press the big red button." but you just have to press it.

Interesting point, although this talk of it ponging is putting me off.

So wash with gritty sponge, tardis, iron-X, clay?

 

[Adam.]

Not sure what kind of cherries these guys have been eating.


:dead:

 

[b1lly]

Don't smell it, whatever you do, for the love of god, don't smell it.

I just bought some for the 1st time and before I could warn her, the mrs opened it and smelt it coz it said new cherry smell haha.

 

[Brian]

Someone's hacked Tom's account, I've never known him to be remotely interested in cleaning cars!

 

[Yellow Dave]

the iron x soap gel doesn't smell as bad as the spray, but my glove split and got it on my hands. After washing my hands several times I can still smell it

 

[chris_p]

I wouldn't let a bad smell ruin your fun, that's what I tell the missus anyway.

Very good product, I used it today before claying, fantastic in little nooks and crannys around the windows etc

And it's white! No better colour to use it on...

Is it as effective at it's purpose compared to the liquid?

I can see it being easier to apply sparingly and evenly, good for working the product in too

 

[Yellow Dave]

You use considerably less product than spray version, does take a little longer to start working but works just as well

 

[MatthewR]

TBH it doesnt smell as bad as people make out, yeh its a bad smell, but not that bad!
