Quick question about Iron X/Deironizer

[Eddie.]

Right, I am ordering some more bits and bobs as I will be doing a full detail in a couple of weeks, plus I'm doing my mates car this weekend.

I have most of what I need, but my question is about Iron-x. Basically do I need it for the paint or can I use Wolfs Deironizer? They appear to do the same thing tbh, just in different ways!

That's what I have, I use it on the wheels at the moment, works a treat, but will it work/should I use it on the paint?!

Sorry if this has been covered, I couldn't find a definitive answer really!

 

[welshname]

It's personal preference. Some people prefer Wolf's, others Iron X there are even people who swear by AG's offering, but only the trade version.

 

[Eddie.]

But Wolfs is safe for paint/everything else it'll inevitably drip/run onto?

 

[welshname]

As far as I can tell yeah

Looks like Wolfs is fine, just takes longer, not much of a problem

Have you used your Tardis Rhys? I'm getting some and was wondering what you thought of it?

I was extremely surprised how little tar I had on the car tbh. But it's extremely good. Can borrow it if you want? I'll bring it up with me next time I'm out. In fact, get yourself a chemical resistant spray bottle and I'll give you a bottle.

Cheers mate, I don't mind buying some of my own though because I'll probably need it quite often, nice one though

I'm doing Oli's M5 this weekend and I dare say it's never been detailed, so I want to get it iron-x'ed, tardised and clayed so I can give it a quick once over with SRP, EGP and wax.

If it's never been detailed you'll deffo want some, to save you buying some for the weekend I'll fill the bottle up I have and bring it for you to use. You'll definitely want some once you've used it.

 

[Eddie.]

Yeah what I mean is I need a tin of it anyway as I know it needs it, and the weekend after my car is deffo going to need it as well.

Ironx is also safe. Deironizer just can be left on for days and won't stain.

Ironx works much quicker.

Iron x is also easier to gain coverage on paint as it's less of a gel and more of a liquid.

Okay, how much quicker?

When I did my wheels I was happy with Deironizer taking 15 mins or so, I presume this sort of timescale would be expected on paintwork also?!?!

 

[Gally]

Indeed, 15/20 minutes.

IronX is almost instant then it keeps working. Up to yourself, both are fantastic products.

 

[Eddie.]

Cheers, I'll stick with the Deironizer as I have loads of that! I'll spend the saved £££'s on other bit that I do need

Cheers mate

I think Deironizer is s**t tbh.

Slow to work, sometimes doesnt work if its really cold, doesnt work well enough.

Its like a cheaper, shitter version of iron X

O wait.

 

[JD]

I do t think it's s**t. It just takes longer. I like the fact you can leave it on wheels then blast off the dried gel. For a wheels off detail, it's great as you can get on with the body work or arches.

However, it is slower as stated, so for bodywork it makes sense to choose iron-x over it.

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Make sure you wear gloves with iron x, I got loads on my hands and couldn't get the smell off for days:dead:

 

[Cliotoby]

My hands are made form leather mate, espuma, neat IPA etc are all regular customers for my hands.

 

[VIICarCare]

much prefer iron X. Alot quicker, but makes me wanna hurl

Agree. It's probably the worst smelling detailing product I've used. It cracks me up when the say it's sented on the bottle

 

[VIICarCare]

still a good giggle when the lads at work ask what it is & smell it .... deep smell too! lolz

Will iron x create a better shine to my paintwork?

Won't make a difference mate, as long as the iron is removed it matters not how its removed, I think

So what benefits does using iron x have?

Read the first page?

It's faster than Wolfs Deironiser.

Iron-x is a product name, if you're asking if it's worth going through the process of removing the iron/brake dust fallout then yes, it's worth it for the final finish of the car. Maybe not "shinier" as such, but it will be a better finish as you won't end up polishing contaminates into your paint.

It'll ensure the longevity of exterior paintwork protection products.

Part of a 3 step paintwork prep process for me.

Wash, dry, tardis, wipe paint with MF cloth, apply iron x, wait, aggitate, wait again, remove with MF cloth. Clay. Re wash to remove anything thats left. Dry. Ready for polishing or protection.

Wash, dry, tardis, wipe paint with MF cloth, put on full breathing gear, apply iron x, wait, aggitate, wait again, remove with MF cloth. Clay. Re wash to remove anything thats left. Dry. Ready for polishing or protection.

why do you use a microfibre to remove the iron x? surely just pre rinse and wash afterwards is fine.

 

[Eddie.]

I thought you could just rinse it off also???

Has anyone done side by sides with that yet? I've heard lots of rumors, but no evidence really.
