I'm looking to purchase an Iron x product and I'm wondering if they are all very similar in how they work.

Or is there a better product for the price?

Thanks in advance.

ironx has been around a long time and definitely does it's job well (as does other carpro products). you've linked the products from amazon, and with many sales going on why not purchase it here at AG? here's another choice from the mckee's 37 that just recently came out. with the 20% off sale right now (free shipping with order over $150), a gallon (128oz) would run you around $64 (regularly $79.99) which is very reasonable...

McKee’s 37 Xtreme Iron Remover

McKee’s 37 Xtreme Iron Remover is pH-balanced and 100% acid-free, so you can use it on every exterior surface with confidence. Simply spray this powerful cleaner directly onto all exterior surfaces and wait a few minutes for it to turn red as it dissolves ferrous (iron containing) particles, leaving your paint glossy, smooth, and bright. Then, wash your vehicle as you normally would and then apply a coat of your favorite wax or sealant. Your vehicle’s paint will appear glossier than it ever has!

Don't stop at your paint! McKee's 37 Xtreme Iron Remover works wonders on old, neglected wheels too. Years of caked-on brake dust doesn't stand a chance against McKee's 37 Xtreme Iron Remover.
 
I've gone through a bottle of the McKee's 37 Iron Remover. Found it to work very well without the overwhelming odor present in IronX. It's good stuff.

I only bought the cherry scent, but basically iron-x still smells like hardcore rotten eggs, with some other nasty chemical smell. Very rarely can you smell anything resembling cherries. I don't know how the lemon one is. Some people say it is better in regards to the smell. I haven't heard anyone complain about performance though. As for the product. It is an amazing product and worth having. Saves so much time claying. You will still have to clay on really neglected paint, but the amount of time you spend on it will be reduced by a lot. Time is money.

Iron x is good but Imo 3d bdx is good as well. I think the differences is the concentration of sodium mercasulphate (chemical misspelling) which dissolves iron
 
No matter what brand you buy they all smell horrible.
 
Given they all stink...
I use carpro for my paint once or twice a year...
I use a locally available bulk product for regular wheel cleaning for the numerous cars I maintain... On body and wheels...
We have fewer options at a reasonable price down under.. And the carpro is expensive for regular use....

Well, I think it depends which salt of thioglycolic acid they are using, which accounts for some brands smelling a little more or less horrible.
 
Ironx of course is the worst .mckees I found smells the same and a little bit on the watery side,which is fine by me.All the scented iron removers smell the same.
 
There is technically only one brand of Iron-X that is CarPro. There are other iron removers however.

I use Carpro and C.A.R branded products. Both stink both work really well.
 
At least you guys have the choice of Iron removers. I would go for Mckees based on the reviews. Iron-X may be good but the smell seems to be a common complaint.

As of today I only have one choice in Dubai, which is Chemical Guys Decon Pro Iron remover. There is zero information about it online, no reviews except some obviously sponsored wheel cleaning reviews but that's it.

If only someone who actually used the product could chime in.

Until then I would probably have to do without an Iron remover, which sucks bigtime.
 
I use Iron X or Gyeon Iron. I have BDX for my wheels, although I've heard of people who use it on paint. I haven't gathered the courage to do so yet.
 
Carpro works well. If you can get the scented version, even better. Smell is awful if storing inside afterward.

I gave my truck bed a spray of the Sonax wheel cleaner that turns colors. No color change on the bed.
