How To: Remove Iron Deposits From Wheels

[AutopiaTech]

What makes a product so good that you not only feel compelled, but obligated rather, to tell your fellow care care enthusiasts about it? Is it the cost? Wow factor? Performance? Ease of use? I vote all of the above because for a product to be put on my definitive list of what I classify as being the good stuff, it has to excel in each respective category and not only exceed expectations, but blow them away.

So when it comes time to put a product to the test, I often use my daily driver, an 11 year old Honda Accord that`s inching ever closer to the 200,000 mile mark, as the guinea pig. I`ve been the proud owner of this car since I coasted into Florida in a Ford Edge rental car back in June 2007. Only days before arriving in Florida I was driving a nineteen-year-old primer-black Buick Park Avenue that often required a steady right hand and a flat head screw driver to start it. Needless to say, I take pride in my car and although it`s not a certified pre-owned Acura TSX with a warranty, I appreciate what I do have and not what I do not have.

The glass in my Honda is free of water spots and crystal clear thanks to Detailer`s Pro Series High Performance Glass Restorer and Diamondite Perfect Vision Glass Cleaner, my paint protected thanks to Collinite #845 and shiny thanks to Wolfgang Fuzion, my cloth seats protected thanks to 303 High-Tech Fabric Guard, my dashboard protected with a smooth satin finish thanks to Detailer`s Pro Series Interior Surface Protectant and my tires glossy thanks to Detailer`s Pro Series Gloss Tire Gel. While all those products add up to probably the best looking 11 year old Honda on the road, one thing about that car has always irked me and it sticks out like a sore thumb: the build up of iron deposits on the wheels.

CarPro Innovative Nano Coats, the brains behind Cquartz, the ceramic coating that provides up to two years of paint protection, manufactures a product specifically designed to remove stubborn iron deposits called Iron X. While Iron X is available in several different forms including a spray and a soap gel, the newest iteration of Iron X is a thick gel that clings to the surface allowing maximum dwell time. If your vehicle has ferrous iron deposits that weren`t completely removed by Iron X spray, Iron X Paste is the miracle solution you`ve been looking for.

Iron X Paste is very easy to use and requires just a smidgen of common sense to master. First, make sure the surface is clean and cool to the touch. Apply Iron X Paste directly to the contaminated area and let it dwell for 5-7 minutes.

Within seconds Iron X Paste starts releasing ferrous iron particles from the pores of the affected surface. As it comes into contact with the ferrous iron particles, Iron X Paste turns purple to let you know that it`s working.

Four minutes after initial application the contaminated area is almost completely purple as Iron X Paste works hard to remove the ferrous iron particles.

After letting Iron X Paste dwell for 5-7 minutes, either rinse the area with a strong jet of water or thoroughly wipe the area clean with a damp microfiber towel.

Iron deposits? What iron deposits?

Iron X Paste is yet another revolutionary product developed by the folks who brought you the ceramic coating that repels water and contaminants off your vehicle`s paint to provide up to two years of protection. Iron X Paste performs so well in its intended use that I wouldn`t be able to sleep tonight if I didn`t spread the word about this revolutionary product that anyone can afford. Products like CarPro`s Iron X Paste rightfully earn a spot on the shelf full of the products that I deem as being the good stuff. The good stuff keeps my 11 year old used-and-abused Honda Accord looking its absolute best until the day I`m cruising down I-95 in a slightly-used Acura TSX.

Nice review. I was wondering how the paste compared to the spray

Great review Nick!

I like the way Iron-X spray works and it`s clear to see why the thicker formula makes sense for those stubborn areas on wheels...

Question, what happens when you leave it on to dry as in a hot sunny day? Has anyone ever left this product on to dry? If so what happens?

I would imagine it would stain the finish. Any product when not used as directed has the potential to damage the finish. That`s why each respective manufacturer includes clear, concise instructions on their products.

Thanks for your feedback!

Good review Stig....

I think I prefer the Iron-X spray though. If I am not mistaken the gel is a slightly diluted form which is why it takes a little longer to work. I do like the idea of spot applying the product though.

Awesome review...

The spray, paste and soap gel all perform exceptionally well in their intended use. For tough iron deposits, such as the one you saw in this article, the paste was the obvious choice because of its thicker viscosity which allows it to cling to the surface ensuring maximum dwell time.

Awesome review...

Thanks.
