I know this isn't anything new, but this is the first time I've used it as a wheel cleaner, and it ROCKS MY SOCKS!!!!

Before: As you can see, there was MOUNTAIN of brake dust!!! :eek:

Tim, LOL!! That's exactly what happened!! That pad got tore up by some sharp plastic on the custom hood. I threw it away.

Just a brillant deduction on my part eh Holmes? Just call me Johnny for "short"
 
How long did you let it dwell for? I have some wheels that are pretty dirty that I might give Iron X a go on..

About 3 minutes, then agitated the barrels with a daytona brush and the face of the wheels with a mothers wheel brush. :dblthumb2:

Follow the directions.. it only takes a few min.....do not let it dry...I prefer to use the paste on wheels and spray on paint.

both products will produce great results.
 
Dang, I was hoping for pics of the Z or at least an action pic. I mean look at the before picture, that would have bled more than a... well never mind.

It's a great product indeed though.
 
That's a pretty expensive wheel cleaner while it does work well.

I use an acid wheel cleaner (Poorboy's Spray & Rinse) diluted 50/50 to clean heavy deposits of brake dust/iron particles followed by a quick spray of alkaline cleaner (pretty much any degreaser) to neutralize the left over traces of acid after pressure rinsing. My way comes out to about $15 a gallon VS. $124 for 5 liters.

To each his own, just sharing my 2 cents is all.

CarPro IronX rocks! It's really one of my go-to products (I almost always only use it on the body).
I can't understand how people let their weels come to this point.
 
IronX really does wonders..
But it can get crazy expensive as a wheel cleaner, so I've been using Meguiars Wheel Brightener, and only if reeeeally necessary I reach for the smelly stuff.
