    Meg`s Wheel Brightner is much stronger than IronX.

    While we`re on the subject of brake dust, does anyone think that IronX would be a good idea for caked on brake dust on chrome?

    I detail a lot of Harleys and steel wool is used on a lot of the parts that are rusted or to remove exhaust stains, etc

    The 0000 (four) grade steel wool is very very fine. I`ve used it on some polished aluminum with no issue.

    What you might be thinking is a course grade SW that can be dangerous on some surfaces.

    Re: Chrome polishes....

    I like to use car soap as a lubricant with steel wool .That way you cut down on the agressiveness and dont breath any steel wool fibers or have them floating around and landing on paint. Best to wear gloves also.

    Just watch out for the plastic chrome ,it will definetely scratch.

    Do a test spot and dont be afraid to try it ! It will save you much time and headache!
