Frankly, if anything, this thread has showed me that based on my needs and what I uderstand about the products, I should just stick to brake buster and just keep my IronX as a dedicated decon product. I guess I can also use it occasionally on my wheels since I assume it will contaminate quicker...
Okay so the IronX type products are low pH ~ 7 compared to Brake Buster pH 11, so on that alone brake buster has better cleaning ability IMO. But I dillute it 1:4 so... not sure how the ph works out to in the end.
Used to use this product (consumer version) before haha before dwelling into other products.
But this doesn't really answer the main question, now that you present this product, for example how does Meguiar D1801 compare vs CarPro IronX? I already have the IronX not looking at spending more...
I really don't want to change my cleaning product I like ONR. I just want to know if IronX does what brake buster does basically as good or better (except the rust inhibitor).
Yeah the topic kinda went offtopic here... but yeah even with the hydroshot I rather not get my driveway all icy either. That's why I use the coin wash to pre-prinse the car and clean wheels, then I drive back home and do a ONR wash in the garage (unheated).
I've never heard of the rust dust being an issue. I have not experienced the same issue as you even though I use brake buster 1:4, the rotors still become rusty.
Oh right ok gotcha, yeah, the touchless washes are just for like maintenance/upkeep I'd say.
Yes but that feature is a gimmick because the rust is removed by simply braking. I have a BMW with large rotors to, just move the car and brake.
Interesting others are saying agitation is definitely gonna be needed.
Yeah the rust inhibitor is quite a gimmick, rust goes away when using the brakes so.
Usually in the sumemr my wheels are also cleaned often, full car cleaned every week but yeah iinter since it's other wheels and winter, usually try to clean the car once per month. I didn't think normal cleaners would help with tar and things like that. I do have TarX as well if I would need I...
I am trying to gauge which one sits higher or if there is one better than the other.
For example I have both Brake Buster and CarPro IronX. Is IronX on it's own good enough as a cleaner for wheels? I know Sonax makes a wheel cleaner that changes color, is it exactly the same as CarPro or a...
Hey I am slowly gravitating my detailing arsenal to Carpro and I just picked up Inside as my interior cleaner. I was still debating on either getting a APC that can be used inside, engine bay etc vs a interior only product but I stumbled onto Inside and ordered it before seeing CarPro MultiX...
Yeah, which is why though I expect opti seal to apply much better than a thicker liquid. Also read some good stuff on people who actually applied it at freezing temp so I'm looking positive for that.
But again, like most of the sealant probably lasts through winter it's just I'm not really 100%...
