Iron x?

I would say yes but if you use a rim coating or wheel wax all you should need then is regular car soap and it`ll be a whole lot cheaper and easier that way. But I generally use 3D BDX as it works just about as good and is cheaper.

PBL wheel coating and your life will become much easier. Then you focus on making the really fun part: making the paint shiny:)

Yes my wheels are coated with opticoat pro+... just the face of the wheel is coated tho, the brake dust is not that bad i guess im OCD lol. I I did order some iron x and will use try it out
 
Yep Iron X is acid-free and pH-balanced, so it`s safe for regular use. If you`ve never used it...you`re going to love it. Just be sure to use it in a well ventilated area and avoid breathing any of it in.
 
As already recommended, coating or sealing the wheels/spokes makes maintenance a LOT easier. I have not used any cleaners besides car wash soap on my wheels for months, and they`re just sealed which takes a few minutes.
 
It comes in Regular and "Lemon" scent.
IMHO the lemon scent smells a bit better but again IMHO the regular works better.
This is some fun stuff on wheels. (We want to see pics.) I actually use it on paint too.
After a wash and before a clay, on a full detail, I`ll spray and smear with a foam applicator.
Once it is rinsed off you`ll be surprised and the little amount of contaminants on your clay bar.

NOTE:
Use only in the shade (well ventilated are...(it smells like a bad hair permanent).

Do not let it dry on the paint or the wheels!!!

Note:
Not my video...but you get the idea...

Damm thats insane, although I plan not to use it in that fashion just yet... mostly on my wheels since my car is opticoated I dont think its time for such a decon just yet.

Question tho? Opti pro+ will hold up against any chemical correct... will not remove the coating?
 
What am I missing here...why would somebody use IronX for their regular Wheel Cleaner?

I know there`s some degree of ferrous stuff from the rotors, but I`d think most of the "brakedust" is NON-ferrous and that othe products would clean that off better or at least as well (at a lower cost).

IME it`s easy enough to keep wheels nice with either regular Carwash or a known-safe Wheel Cleaner.

But again, maybe I`m missing something here so clue me in/correct me if so!

OPC is great stuff, but I use it primarily for greasy stuff. My sorta-strong shampoo mix (for the foamguns- ~70oz. shampoo to ~121 oz. water) works well on LSPed/coated wheels, and stuff like Griot`s/P21s works well on the bare ones. I`ve never tried the HD versions of those Wheel Cleaners, but they oughta work even better.

Wonder how the cost of those compares to stuff like OPC...I somehow think the latter would cost more while providing no additional benefits for this application. But again...somebody correct me if I`m off-base.
