I've been using Iron X for a while now, as a wheel cleaner. As many of you know, it works incredible well. The problem I was having though, is that it is so thin and creates runs and drip lines, especially on inner barrels.

Recently I received a giveaway from AG, Scholl Concepts Rim 7 wheel cleaner(full review coming soon; I promise). I've tried it on quite a few different wheels now, including polished aluminum, painted plastic (clearcoated) wheel covers, clear coated alloy wheels, and various inner barrels.

It's better than IronX. I don't think it's necessarily stronger, but it stays in place and when left to dwell 5 minutes or longer it absolutely leaves nothing in it's path. It's miraculous. . .but super expensive.

That's the problem. I may just keep using it and just upcharging for really bad wheels, but are there good alternatives?

I started researching possible good alternatives. Don't get me wrong. I think iron x still has a place for use on paint, but now that I've used a gel product I just can't go back.

I think Wolf's deironizer Decon Gel could be the answer. Still expensive, but nothing like scholl concepts.

Anybody have any input here? The one catch is that it needs to be a similar product. PH neutral. Safe for a wheels, etc.

Thanks!
 
Adam's Deep Wheel Cleaner stays in place. In the pic below Adam's in on the right half of the wheel and the left side is diluted Iron X soap gel.

If your looking to save some money, maybe consider buying bulk. Both Sonax and 1Z come in 5L containers.
 
Funny I just posted about the same thing in an other thread... Will keep watching here too ;)

what's the link to that thread? I'm specifically interested in the deironizing cleaners. IMO it seems like they are just so much more affective than everything else.
 
All this talk about IronX, Sonax etc.

Despite the manufacturers claiming these products are PH-neutral, I'm always wary of storing them for too long in those plastic containers.

What the longest any of you have gone, when it comes to storing these sort of chemicals, in their original plastic containers, in a temperature controlled environment?

These products haven't existed long enough to deteriorate their containers that much, unless people finding that certain containers are very fragile when dropped are some kind of indicator. These products are only designed to deteriorate bare metal, the ferrous metal.

The Chemists/formulators of these products have surely advised the manufacturers/owners of which
containers would be the most prudent in which to package them...(including short/long-term storage)

They do get shipped World-wide: Some in the cargo-holds of seafaring vessels, that are unloaded at their ports-in-waiting;
and then: these products are transported/shipped to warehouses.
Once an order has been placed...Here comes more handling/adversity.

None of the above, of which I would consider, are: "in a temperature controlled environment".

Thank you, never thought of it that way!

^_^
 
I am not worried about them affecting the containers. They are designed to break down iron... if they come in a metal container, worry ;)

Have you posted the review? I tried searching but was unable to find it. I was hoping to see a few more reviews before I bought it, and since you seemed to like it I was hoping to see what was what. Thanks!
