Iron Out - Wish I had found this stuff years ago.

[Pete.]

It's not often I wax lyrical over a product but this stuff today has totally blown me away.

I neglect the wheels on my work bike terribly because they are a bugger to get in all the nooks and crannies.They get caked with in-grained dirt and brake dust that simply washing won't move. Last time I cleaned the back wheel up it took a couple of hours of sore-fingered rubbing with cutting compound and because I'd done it a few times before it's now started wearing through the yellow paint. So I left the front wheel dirty that time in pure disgust.

Fast-forward to today and my daughter got recommended to this stuff after some clumsy basted managed to get grinding dust in the paintwork of her car. She sprayed this all over and it dissolved out all the damage, it turns the iron particles purple and they just wash out.

Just for kicks she sprayed my filthy dirty front wheel and 5 minutes later ran the jetwash over it - 90% of this impossible to shift dirt just washed off. One more treatment and the wheel looks like a new one.

This stuff. Get it from Halfords.

Also works wonders on shiny metal parts and is safe for paintwork.

I use what is likely the same stuff, in a different bottle/brand (Devils Mist Fallout remover). Cleaned up the white 8 spokes a treat. Amazing stuff, shifts shit that nothing else touches.

Been using Iron X and Bilt Hamber Korrosol for years. Not a secret to those with an interest in detailing.
This one always gets people raving about it as you can see it doing its thing. 95% of vehicle owners wouldn't know
what iron fallout was if it bit them on the arse. But 100% of them will have wheels coated in the stuff. You can't wash
it off unless you use an appropriate product. I have diamond cut polished alloys on the Mazda, they will be stripped and
sealed for the winter in the next couple of months.

I've used this before

I'm guessing it's acid based so repeated use might have negative effects especially if some was accidentally left in brakes or got in bearings.

Another one I've heard of is dragons breath because it stinks but works well apparently. As already been said, all much the same product, just different packaging.

I just use baby wipes and that cleans everything off.

If the the dirt is that bad then just a bit of paraffin or WD40 on the baby wipe does the job.

but generally i just use baby wipes to clean all the chain lube off my back wheel and front sprocket housing.

a pack of baby wipes is always under my seat on the bike.
