BUDGET IRON REMOVERS - MEGUIARS ALL WHEEL CLEANER VS EAGLE ONE BLACK & PLASTI DIP: WORTH THE MONEY?

[@edruiz6364]

You're right about the Eagle 1 presentation, they all feature the same blue bottle, hard to differentiate the product and Walmart sort of stacks them together making it even harder to find.

[@mynsxt6]

They read differently on the bottle, so if you can read, then you will get the right Eagle One.

JIMBO'S DETAILING Is the eagle 1 safe on black plastic trim ?

[@FYRARMS]

I have used both products, and while they both perform well, I now only use the Eagle One strictly due to cost. My local Walmarts usually sell it for just $4.44 per bottle compared to about $9.00 for the Meg's. My Z06 Corvette has Wilwood brakes with aggressive pads, and they dust just by looking at them. I use quite a bit of iron remover, so Eagle One fits my needs! My daily driver is a pearl white Infiniti G37X, and I notice a few new orange iron spots on the white paint every week or so. The Eagle One takes care of those for me, too. Great video, as always, Jimbo!

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Nice!

[@bobdylan9117]

My Elantra has Wilwood brakes too. I know what you mean.

[@MrBundy15]

Did this car live on a farm? Asking for a friend.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

I think so

[@MrBundy15]

Auto Detailing Podcast wasn’t sure if u said it or not

[@F0X74]

Think the car lived on a farm. Definitely lived on a farm.

[@09jlivers]

Maybe it rented.... 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@rugby86]

Maguiars Mirror Bright also does the job. Depending where you can find it, it is also an economic option. So far Meguiars Wheel Cleaner for me has done the job.

[@jdisdetermined]

How do the products in the Mirror Bright line compare to the standard Meguiars versions for real world use? Have never tried them, but I do like the look of the label design and bottles themselves.. 😁👍👌✌

[@daveh3302]

Thanks for the info on on the Eagle One. Great stuff! I picked some up from Walmart for $6, I also got the Turtlewax Ice Seal and Shine for $6. Both the great products!

[@jeffm3072]

It’s all about economics, Eagle One for the win

[@cedrickscott283]

All wheel cleaner did great on my stock chrome wheels.WOW!!😲ITS a.great product.Just dont let it dry on ur wheeL is all and you are a GOOD!👍😎

[@spencersmustache2844]

Can you do a demo of the full turtle wax ice kit? The spray wax is a hit but how is the detailer, interior cleaner and speed compound? The kit looks likes a good value on amazon. Eagle wins this episode.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Ya I’ve been thinking about it

[@BPattB]

Wow bro I'm just slow I guess I would have never thought to use wheel cleaner for iron remover. I get iron remover from Wall Mart now lol that great. Thanks a ton!

[@MrLaloman18]

What are you talking about that they are hard to find, just got 6 of these 23oz Eagle One iron remover bottles for just $4.49 each at Pep-Boys! They are in stock and cheaper than anywhere else!

[@edwinsr1908]

I've been using the meguiars product for a while and I love it 😀.

[@Bigheadedwon]

Guessing the Meg's is close to the same as their DUB Wheel Cleaner? I use to love that, and Walmart had it for like $7 a bottle. I liked the DUB line a lot, especially for the low price. But of course Meguiars didn't seem to care about it and I don't see it anywhere any more. And they dropped all but 3 of the products.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Yes I believe it’s similar

[@sdpikapp]

Did the car live on a farm?

[@Hira9612]

Can you do a similar 50/50 comparison with Eagle One vs Iron X?? tbh Great work on the 50/50 comparisons, love the way you do it.

[@f1fanatic80]

Just looking at the condition of the paint and the way the water beaded off the car, I can definitely tell that this car lived on a farm for sure 100% , anyone else agree? Like if you do..

[@coldbrewshawty]

my eagle one stock sprayer broke on me too the second time i used it, i like both products really. i use both of them

[@barrycook8116]

Eagle one is terrible. There is a clear difference between iron X and other iron removers. I will never buy eagle one again. I bought two bottles and after using it in a third car I can honestly say there is a reason it is 6 bucks. I can’t speak for megs wheel cleaner.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Interesting..what happened?

[@barrycook8116]

It made more rust in rotors and I had to use iron x to take some of it off. It dries super fast on the paint and left a haze only after like 30 seconds on the car even in the shade. I am in Florida but no product should do that. I have iron x and it can go 5-7 mins working time. Iron x is much thicker and sticks to the rims to pull the brake dust off. When you get cars like BMW or Audi where the brake dust is crazy it clings to it much better than eagle one. I would much rather pay like 14 more dollars with discounts than buy a product that you can tell after using it multiple times that there is a reason it’s 6 bucks. Yes iron x might be 25 but I usually pay around 15-18 depending I the current discounts as well as If you buy the 5 liter, the cost also comes down even more. I use a couple iron removers but I am giving an example of iron x because when you have a wholesale account then you get things much cheaper than what amazon would sell them for or even on Autogeek 25% the price comes down a lot. Those are just examples.

[@bobdylan9117]

the comment section on this video is one big circle jerk.

[@KillroyX99]

That eagle one product is hard to find. Cheeper just to get a different product with no/free shipping.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

ya they def missed the mark with their branding...its too bad, great product.

[@johnandstephanie377]

I still show it at NAPA stores

[@patb5266]

Clear coat on body panels shouldn't be a problem, what's the difference whether it's on a wheel or body panel? Makes sense it would be safe. I used AutoGlym Magma in the same way no problems and it's marketed for wheels.

[@joemontero725]

Idea... Mix them both and get the power of eg1 and cling to surface of meguiars.

[@Skillissue247]

Love your videos. Keep up the great work 👍

[@themachine8009]

Jimbo is that red Porsche yours? What a beauty Eagle One all the way. It’s not even close. The price, not nasty smell (ironx I’m talking 2 u) and it does an equal or better job than the filthy expensive ones. When u r doing a chemical decon, do u spray it onto a dry or wet paint? Does it matter? And after u pray it, do u need to agitate it or just rinse? Thanks in advance

[@autodetailingpodcast]

It’s my clients car

[@flemmingjensen3202]

You can do both. Wet or dry, rinse or agitate. Of course the water will dilute the product a little, and the agitation adds a slight risk of scratching, but may be worth it if the paint doesn't need claying. My usual procedure: I wash the car, rinse, spray iron remover, may agitate, rinse, remove tar, rinse thoroughly, clay, rinse, and move on to polish or lsp

[@themachine8009]

Flemming Jensen 👍👍thanks for all the tips. Appreciate that man

[@Bean-sz7sr]

[@BryanAsker]

I tried the Meguiars from OReilly’s on my GT500 with a crazy amount of brake dust and worked pretty damn well. But nothing compares to P&S Brakebuster out of the IK which is all I use now 🤷

Yup both are good choices, I do like how break buster will clean the tires at the same time.

It’s worth a try. They also make foaming sprayer tips

[@galanoth17]

Can i spray meguires AWC on a black car also? Can it stain the paint?

[@autodetailingpodcast]

it can stain if you let it dry - keep it wet and out of direct sun and youll be good.

[@Wilyb153]

im not a troll but why would you not pre-foam >pressure clean >apply iron remover just saying you had a lot of dirt and other containments on that hood seems like you misrepresent both products

[@lettheroadtakeyou]

Thank you for the video. QQ, I have painted the wheels of my car and covered with a matte clear coat. The wheel feel a bit porous. So, after a weekend on the track the brake dust is well into the wheel. I have used Meguiars professional with agitation and it was like water, nothing. Yesterday I got the Sonal Wheel Cleaner Full and it did a great job, but the front wheels still have a good amount of brake dust in them...any suggestions? Clay bar? Thank you.

[@jaybee2812]

I like eagle one simply because of the smell is a lot better than meguiars 👍🏼

[@Blackrabbit08880]

I have the eagle one product and the back label says to avoid painted surfaces. Are you concerned with that? Should we be concerned that the OEM says to avoid it yet you and a few other KZbinrs have videos using it on paint? I'm a little hesitant to use it on my paint.

[@godowarus]

I go with the Meguiar's. I like that it clings since wheels are vertical and it gets the job done. It makes my wheel cleaning touchless and I don't have to worry about swirling my gloss black wheels. Plus, I get a discount at Walmart so the price isn't so bad.

[@oma424]

Hello, i used by mistake in a self wash the wheel foam on my car paint ...but i rince it a few minutes later....do You think it damaged my paint?

[@autodetailingpodcast]

It shouldn't...unless you were in direct sun or the paint was hot.

@@autodetailingpodcast Thank you for reply, no, it was in shade and i rinsed the car twice, plus that i always use ceramic wax after each wash.... so i think the paint had some protection:)))

Jimbo, what wax or sealant would you use on your wheels for a off road farm vehicle bro?

[@khyoon14]

what's the point of iron remover? doesn't claybar or polishing do the same thing?

[@autodetailingpodcast]

It can make the coating process faster and easier

[@jsonlee01]

As someone explained it, claying and polishing will shear off the top layers of embedded contaminants while the iron remover will “dissolve” the ferrous contaminants that have embedded themselves into the paint.

Hi Jimbo. Can you tell me when you apply iron remover on the paint is it better to be on clean car or dirty one? As long as i remember Mike Phillips once said that it is better to use iron remover on dirty car (for better cling) but all the other detailers first they wash the car and then use iron remover. So what is the best method? Thx in advance :) p.s. Eagle one for the win. Unbeatable price ... nuff said :)

[@autodetailingpodcast]

I use it How mike Phillips recommends.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

[@j5ritzema]

Question: Is it acceptable to go ahead and spray these iron removers on a dry car, let's say even before the initial spray down prior to washing? (On a relatively clean-ish car, and just to quickly get some orange spots off.... not to completely decontaminate it). TIA!

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Yes for sure. I do it all the time

[@flemmingjensen3202]

I usually find, that the iron remover actually leaves the couloured spots behind, cars rarely maintained, washed beforehand. It does loosen the iron particles, but the spots typically need claying. Am I doing it wrong?

[@purefirevlogs]

do you still need to clay the paint after this?

[@detailone978]

Yes, do iron decon first and then clay.

Definitely love the Meguiars.

[@tonymattisson6158]

Bilt Hamber Korrosol is outstanding as a iron remover. They have a wheel cleaner too that is about the same strenghts as Korrosol actually. I don't look after how fast they react. As some can react as soon as it's in the air before hitting the paint even. That's not a tell of how good it is. That's when you use the PW and only need one go with the iron remover on a heavy iron particals and you get it off. Rarely I need to be doing a second application with the Korrosol and Carpro IronX. And I do a test spot after the first application on the biggest iron particals I saw on the first application. To see if I got it off or not. The important thing with iron removers is to let them dwell as long as possible before you clean rinsing it off with a PW. Don't let them dry on you though. I have a pump pressure spray bottle with water to not let it to dry. On a fine mist setting on it so the most of the iron remover is left. Sonax has released an even more stronger than the Plus wheel cleaner that's called Sonax Wheel Cleaner Max Effect. And is in a blue bottle. As with some brands this is the EU version. And don't know when it's released in the US. They also released Sonax Rust Remover late last year I think which also is quite good. But BH Korrosol is my go to iron remover as it just works. In the US look up HS-tuning to get the Bilt Hamber products. And get the Auto-Foam and Surfex HD if you buy something from them. The products I have used so far from BH has been top notch. Envy the guys and gals in the UK which gets BH and Angelwax products dirt cheap there.
