Washing alone can’t remove all of the embedded contaminants from your vehicle’s clear coat, or on your vehicle’s wheels. One of the products that should be used is a chemical cleaners known as an iron remover.
Simply spray the iron remover directly onto any exterior surface, wait a few minutes for it to change color as it dissolves ferrous particles, and rinse. This will leave your paint glossy, smooth, and bright. Iron removers help remove brake dust, rail dust, industrial fallout, etc. Iron removers make preparing your vehicle for polish easier.

[@fuji_film_digital2122]

Hey Pan, is there any need to rinse the car first. Or should I wash the car first? Or apply the iron remover then wash the car?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You would wash the car first. When you are done rinsing, you have two options. Fully dry the paint, then spray the iron remover, then rinse again. Or, while the paint is still wet, spray the iron remover, then rinse. If you want to save time and be more efficient, you spray on the wet paint. See how I do this process when I fully detail a car: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp2maqivgL2mbrM

You had to rinse the car and switch the sides. Apply one product after another. After that we could see which one is doing good job. :)

Thanks once again Pan The Man!!! I purchased Carpro Ironx on Amazon got lost in transit.. So I purchased Meguiars all wheel cleaner for $10 us and it worked very well.. Looks like I will be getting the Eagle one now!! Anytime a product does that well and is only a quarter of the price is worth it to me... Just goes to show we don’t have to break the bank trying to take care of our cars!! Thanks again Pan👍🏻

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks!

[@archiepezek]

It seems as though the Carpro product works slightly better, but in my opinion it's not worth four times the cost of the Eagle One product. Thanks for another informative video Pan.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Archie!

[@agandalf]

Salut Pan. Pour ma part le Iron X est plus efficace pour une compagnie de Detailling (une application et c'est rapide), mais pour un particulier le Eagle One est parfait. Dans le pire cas, on vaporise 2 fois. Somme toute c'est très semblable pour 4 fois moins chère. Merci pour cette video de qualité, lâche pas Pan, t'es au top!

[@gucciz2982]

Alain Gervais je suis d'accord

[@xavierparisse2809]

Alain, meme pour un particulier, je pense que le produit Carpro est bien plus efficace, certes il coûte cher mais il est vraiment efficace. Je prefere une fois pourtoute mettre le rpix que de passer 2 fois un produit moins cher.... Mais cela reste mon avis personnel.☺

Thanks for watching Anthony!

[@a.dejesus792]

Iron X is a bit better but not by much.

[@marcusaureliusantoninusaug2161]

I agree, $ 20 for a bottle is insane.

[@randallfield6492]

Used Iron X today for the first time. Worked great. Worked even better when I was up wind of it.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Cool! Ideally you wouldn't use this on a windy day as you don't want the product to dry on the paint, and want to let it dwell long enough for it to do its thing (as per the instructions).

[@tuner066]

For the money I’d go with eagle one. I have not used that brand. But used Maguires ultimate wheel cleaner as a iron X. I would have liked to see the products used on each other. Rinse off then apply each product to each other’s side to see what would happen.

[@Iznogoogoo]

This would be the Eagle One every day of the week for me! Why would we keep on supporting these high dollar brands that have been ripping us all this time for pretty much nothing...?! Plus I think this tends to keep people away from the detailing hobby as they would see it as expensive and kind of esoteric in a way... Thumbs up 👍 for this great demo and this once again great detailing vid from Pan TheOrganizer! Would have been even better if each product was tried on the other's side to see if anything still reacts there. Just my two cents... Thank you Pan! Keep up the good work!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for the feedback! 👍🏻

[@anthonyc7407]

I wish they didn’t smell that bad. My garage smelled for a few days after opening the Iron X bottle but it worked like a charm.

[@jimgee2676]

I better run to the parts store to pick up some eagle one before the shelves get cleared :)

[@fish9651]

It would have been interesting to see what would happen if you rinsed it all off; then spayed the Eagle 1 on the Car Pro side and vice versa.

[@theplayernkc]

I would say the IronX did a better job at dissolving Iron Oxide, also known as rust. This will allow your clay bar to remove the iron particles out of the clear coat easier. These product do not melt iron (common misconception) these products dissolve the Iron Oxide (what you see as purple) around the iron. The Iron Oxide causes the iron particles to get stuck in your clear coat. As the iron rust in the clear coat, the rusting expands and causes the iron to get lodged into the clear coat.

[@danwalker6691]

theplayernkc thanks for clarifying that! I suspected as much and was going to research it more.

[@frshswagg1883]

Honestly, they both did a equal comparison on both body and Rims. For me personally, I thought car pro kick was gonna take the lead. The comparison was ideally equal on both products. For me I’m not much of a name brand type of person, I would definitely go with the cheapest product if it’s so close to the competition. I would change bottles tho 😂

[@theelifeofdez381]

Definitely change the bottle.

[@angelawilson5453]

I can't find the Eagle One Black & Plasti-Coat anymore is there something else I can use instead?

[@richbeata]

Hi Pan, the link to the Eagle One now takes you to the Walmart site and say's it's "out of stock" in all nearby stores and also for delivery. It might be discontinued. Several other attempts to search for it will usually bring up an ad for Jay Leno's Garage products.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

[@1powerequalsgod]

If you are a professional Detailer it’s best to use something that is most effective at the lowest price point. Eagle One would win at the consumer level but what if you need a 1 or 5 gallon size? What’s the price for something like this?

[@alanbuchanan7843]

Just a quick observation - the wind was blowing the sprays onto the other side so in reality you had a mix of Eagle one landing on the hood as well as the Carpro and then the reverse on the back end!

[@04hemi]

Looks like Car Pro takes the lead by a hair, but at a 4X cost, probably not worth it. Thanks for the comparison vid and all your hard work and contributions to the community. I think I'll favor the Eagle 1 for this one.

Thanks! How did you discover my channel by the way?

[@04hemi]

I'm new to the detailing world and just searched for as many detailing vids as I could. Yours are some of the most detailed and well done I have found! Thanks again, I look forward to many more!

[@LKN4WAR]

The closest I could find of the eagle is the triple cleaning foaming wheel cleaner now in an orange bottle. I ordered it at NAPA auto parts. Eagle is hard to find in Southern California. I tired it on some of the paint next along with meguiars iron remover. The eagle I could see nothing. Obviously not the same product or they changed the mix. The meguiars had a lot of purple. But 25 dollars a quart is extremely expensive for a huge truck needing two quarts. Any future purchases will be gallon size form whoever is most reasonable.

[@tredfxman]

Im using this with the Sonax Surface Rust Remover ironer on my brake rotors of my GTI Clubsport. Is that okay? Its extremely much cheaper than buying new rotors & gets em back to new shiny condition Fast... Spraying then rub em with a towel then throw it, or maby use for degreasing other old car or other super dirty stuff laters 👍

[@jordanaguilar5490]

I know you don't recommend it but Pan your viewers in Los California (where we don't have clouds and it's always sun Shining) need to know what kind of products do you recommend to work under the sun I'm thinking you should do a video for recommendation of products to work under the sun especially with car shampoo and snow foams

Q1 Can you do a review of the top 6-8 iron removers that are available in Canada , please . Q2 Can you please review how to clean barrels (deep Clean) of 8 (or so) year old alluminum SNOW tires. Thank you for all your great videos ....this is a GREAT channel !!!

[@slappy915]

Ceramic brakes wont cause purple on wheel like the higher end sports cars. As well the rear of the car gets more "iron" due to exhaust not brakes. Usually the exhaust system breaking down and any fall out being kicked up.

[@Pabla98]

I think the price difference between the two is the level of safety of the product. I would trust Iron X on a customers ceramic coated car more than eagle one just because of Carpros knowledge of ceramic coatings. They may do similar jobs but the cost cutting has to come from somewhere.

[@alexisamtosta]

They seem to be very close. Pan, one question... When you apply a fall out, that does not mean you have to clar bar after right?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Exactly. Usually you would follow and iron remover with a claybar, but it’s not mandatory unless you’re polishing paint. And you don’t clay ceramic coated cars, you just use iron removers.

[@alexisamtosta]

Machine polish is best bet

[@SrtJoe]

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks! Optimum Opti-Seal is a paint sealant, not a ceramic coating. Opti-Coat Pro, Opti-Coat Pro+ and Optimum Gloss Coat are their coatings. But to answer your question, the only true way to remove a ceramic coating is by machine polishing.

[@aberaj2761]

Can't seem to find Eagle One Black and Plasti coat anywhere. Contacted the manufacturer (Energizer products) , they did Not indicate it was discontinued but told me to contact the big box stores (including Lowe's?!)for availability.

[@mynsxt6]

Wow Pan your EagleOne sprayer worked flawlessly, I have had issues on the PVD sprayers!!!!!

[@deflep007]

The only thing is that the eagle one one does not say it could or should be used on the body. It states it is for wheels. Maybe it has something in it that is not safe for the clearcoat paint or it would state you could use it on the body. To me , they would have said you could use it the body as well.

[@Bobby-wo4ub]

Thank you Pan, for all of this useful informatino. You explained every thing so efficiently, no second on your video is wasted. I have just one question, what kind of respritory mask filter should I use applying Tar and Iron remover? I have never done this before.

[@adman3355]

Hey Pan I’ve always been curious if that stuff actually removes ALL the iron or if it’s just a neat feel-good trick because there are usually some small specks left behind. Maybe an idea for another test? A follow up application for them to see how thorough they are and how much they do dissolve, if not all.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Iron removers are a must for removing iron particles (orange rust spots on paintwork) but they won't necessarily remove 100% of the specks in one pass. Sometimes you need multiple passes if there is heavy contamination. Plus, you will typically follow the chemical decon by a full claybar stage, which should pickup any remaining particles. One trick to increase the performance of the iron remover is to spray it on a clean and dry vehicle. So you wash and dry your car, then you spray the iron remover. Let it dwell a few minutes (NEVER let it dry though!) and then work it in with a mitt like I did in this recent high end detailing video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp2maqivgL2mbrM

[@dontblameme6328]

It doesn't really remove the ferrous particles. It reacts with iron oxide only to remove the visible rust spot but the sourcing 0articlevis likely still there. That's why the spots reappear soon enough.

[@zhbedren]

So is it safe to use a wheel cleaner that can remove iron particles on the paint?

[@Deaddriftbum]

Yes. It can be used in OEM wheels and paint. Plastic trim safe as well since it’s designed for plastidip wheels.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Sure, as long as it's a wheel cleaner with color changing technology (meaning it contains the active ingredient to dissolve iron particles). I wouldn't use regular wheel cleaners on paint, that's not what they're designed for. But CarPro Iron X can be used on wheels, glass and paint.

[@jeremygreathouse9193]

Car should have been washed first two free of any loose contaminants on the paint surface. Product is meant to remove the embedded iron particles in the surface. That would have let us see more which product is able to truly remove the embedded iron particles

[@rayland9305]

Have you seen the MSDS sheet on Iron-X? I would definitely wear a respirator, gloves and goggles. Scary stuff.

[@TheMstwntdLMSV123]

Great test! If I am just using a wax or sealant I use the Eagle One and if I am doing a ceramic coating I use the IronX

[@hammertimee777]

What makes the eagle one shine is that it also removes other grease, tar, and dirt because it is a wheel cleaner. Carpro Iron X is a straight iron remover, so it doesn't cut into grease, tar and dirt as well. There are people out there that only use Iron X because they want to support the original makers.

Pan, thank you for another excellent video. Eagle One is sold out because of you. LOL!!!! My question is, the ads for these say to stay away from trim and metallic surfaces and my 2017 Silverado has the plastic grills and chrome headlight bezels, chrome bumpers, chrome side steps with black plastic treads and polished aluminum/chrome wheels. How bad will I hurt these surfaces or should I not use these products at all? The truck was never decontaminated before paint protection was put on but it's always been super smooth, glossy and beads like crazy having used so many products you have mentioned. the truck has 16,000 miles and was garaged the first year so it hasn't seen much since new.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I use iron removers on wheels all the time. Watch my ultra popular wheel and tire cleaning tutorial : kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqqXi4enbKZqqMU

[@chris8383]

Is this safe on all wheels? The products label says not safe on non-factory painted wheels or motorcycle wheels?

[@ryanTDG]

Have you tried Meguiars Wheel and Iron decon? D1801? $60 USD a gallon and cleans wheels very well.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I haven't, but many of my viewers tell me I should.

[@PunjabiKush]

I’d do the 🦅 2x and you would probably get the same if not better result.

[@MichaelWarbux]

Is my city's air quality and brakes better than most cars? I can spray iron removers on my paint and wheels and I NEVER get anything red/purple. Maybe I'm lucky.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yeah I was stunned to see that this car which had never really been properly detailed in the past 6 years had barely any iron deposits on the wheels, yet the paintwork was soooooo contaminated. German cars typically have high performance brakes and our cars get brake dust like crazy. My BMW M550i with M Performance brakes needs a wash twice weekly. :)

[@Coolestbj]

How is a brake cleaner safe on paint?

[@devoninman17]

Most factory wheels are painted and clear coated just like the rest of the car...

[@tundrawhisperer4821]

I understand their use is in the name “iron remover”. But, when are you needing to do this and is this completely stripping everything off the clear coat and is it safe on all clear coats? Thx

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yes it's clear coat safe. IronX is even pH neutral. You should be using an iron remover at least twice yearly, in my opinion, to remove iron particles as par of the paint decontamination steps (before a claybar) to remove contaminants and prepare your clear coat to receive some protection: waxes, sealants, coatings, etc. Watch where this falls into during an entire vehicle prep in the spring for example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4u9XoOfrteUl9U

[@deacon5097]

When would you use the Iron Remover during a normal car wash?

[@mcflotty]

To be honest, at least on camera, they didn't look much different to me. For the price point difference, I'd go Eagle One. If necessary you could do it twice and still be ahead of the game. But they looked the same.

Hey Pan, if you both clay and use iron x, which one should go first, the clay or iron x?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Typically, the best strategy is to do the chemical decon first (IronX) then follow that with the claybar. Like in this video where you see me fully detail a BMW: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp2maqivgL2mbrM

No. Claybar removes other embeded contaminants, and iron removers remove iron particles. Yes you wash your vehicle before this step, as the products work better on a clean surface as they can focus on what's embeded in the clear coat instead of also fighting loose dirt.

Yes, IronX is more expensive but it is a proven product. Wheels are tough and you can use virtually anything on them. But I'd be inclined to use the single-purpose IronX on my paint and sleep better. You don't decontaminate your paint that often so it isn't a big expense.

I love CarPro 😍

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Me too! Watch a video where I fully detail a vehicle inside and out, using mainly CarPro products here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp2maqivgL2mbrM

can you spray directly on plastic/vynal trim or running boards if not /will it affect them by just rinsing down and over them

[@PanTheOrganizer]

This is for use on paint and glass. So you wouldn't directly spray on plastics. But some overspray is normal, expected and ok. Just don't use this in direct sunlight and NEVER let iron removers dry on the surface. Rinse thoroughly once the dwell time is done.

Going to try the Eagle 1. Thanks Pan!

[@CrpMag]

Has anyone tried the Adam’s Iron Remover? I haven’t been able to find the Eagle One Black and Plasti-coat for months.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I have. But CarPro IronX and Gyeon Iron and Malco Iron Blaster, and Optimum Ferrex are all better.

[@CrpMag]

Pan TheOrganizer thank you for the info Sir.

[@sergenity]

it seems to me Sonax beats 1 liter is the best that is on sale and I can divide it 1/1. Any other this price?

[@DebbieFBI]

I'm going to try the iron remover from chemical guy. Thanks for the video Pan!

If I'm going to clay bar a car and also use an iron remover, which should I do first or doesn't it matter?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Ideally, you want to use iron remover first, and then you follow with a claybar.

[@FamiliaPhoenix]

Do iron removers affect the wax? Do you have to wax afterwards? I couldn't find if iron removers are ok to use during a normal car wash or best only when doing a full detailing

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Although IronX is pH neutral, it could potentially break down older waxes and sealants. It's safe for use on ceramic coatings which have a much higher degree of resistance to chemicals. So if you IronX a car that is waxed, simply apply a fresh layer of wax when you're done.

What iron remover is visible on dark paint? Iron removing soap, maybe?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

None are really visible on black or dark greys unfortunately.

Here's the thing, does Eagle One actually REMOVE iron particles? If you read the Eagle One label or any of the marketing materials, it claims to only IDENTIFY contaminants by changing color. It never claims to remove them. Iron X and other products on the other hand claim to dissolve iron particles. That's a pretty big difference between the two. I assume the Eagle One just turns the stuff purple so you can agitate the area and physically remove contaminants. It doesn't claim to chemically alter them in any way. I think some folks may be getting confused by this product. To me, it doesn't appear to be an actual iron remover.
