Does anyone know where I can buy iron-x that's not off the Internet? I have all my supplies besides that I don't need a big order right now.

CarPro's Iron-X? Neither have I.

However...
The local bootleggers are trying to pass this stuff off as the "Real McCoy":



If interested:
You can get some of it at a: Non-negotiable, non-internet-price.
Just Call:



Sincerely,

Bob "Jr." :)
 
Actually, I ran out of Iron-X today and it had me wondering if I can make Iron-X spray from Iron-X paste?

Does it work just as good as the spray when making a spray from the paste?

I think so. Like I have tried 1:5 for more power, it does seem to get more powerful. Again I am just doing a surface decon, not wheel cleaning or anything. So depending on how bad the car is, mix it accordingly! :)

1:7 seems to be a good blend of power/cost efficiency

Thanks. Looks like I'm off to Walmart tomorrow to grab a crappy cheap spray bottle.
 
FWIW, I did a 1:5 mix of Iron-X paste and distilled water this morning and, although it does work, it didn't seem to be as effective as regular Iron-X. Of course it could have been any number of factors outside of the mix. Either way, in a pinch it's certainly a viable alternative! Thanks for the tip!!
 
I've had similiar results. It does work but not as well and I didn't find it to be worth the effort. To caveat this I have never really noticed great results with the paste anyway.
 
Well a 1:5 mixture is $4, normal ironX is $20. So you can mix it thicker or more treatments if you so choose. :)
 
I wasn't saying it was a bad nor non-economical solution. In fact, its an awesome idea! People just may need to start with a lower dilution ratio and work up to find the best balance of strength and value.

To make it an effective wheel cleaner, mix in an ounce of citrus wash&gloss to it. Now it removes grime and grease along with brake dust.
 
I placed an order with CarPro today and decided to email Corey and get his input on this topic...

Here's what I asked:

I had a quick Iron-X question for you. Can Iron-X spray be made from Iron-X paste? I ran out of Iron-X spray, but I have Iron-X paste. I posed the question on AG and was told yes (1:5 to 1:7 ratio), but it didn't seem to be as effective as the spray is.
--- end ---

And here's the relevant portion of the reply I received:

--- begin ---
No, the people on Autogeek are incorrect. They are assuming that because of the consistency that that concentration is seven times more powerful and are completely wrong. The reason for the consistency is so they can hang onto the vertical service better. It is a little more concentrated but very little. You can apply to a car thats still wet but you certainly can't dilute it more.
--- end ---

Hope this helps anyone that was curious.
