Iron X Review: How, When, and Why I use it!

Iron x review... how, when, and why I use it! In this video I break down the largely talked about product, Iron X. This product is extremely popular in the auto detailing world, and for good reason. It definitely does what it says it will do. Iron X is a rust, rail dust, and contamination remover that detailers and car enthusiasts use before or after they clay bar a vehicle in order to pick up any contaminants that may still be on the paint after they have washed the surface dirt off! Follow along, and learn not only how to use this product, but some specific applications that I use it for to help deliver superior results!

It doesn’t take bugs off...it reacts with iron that is in the steel , typically from brakes and brake linings and bit of steel particles from snow plows...

[@peteshelby21]

Thanks for video. I have been using many other iron removers for years and years. Still have not tried Iron -x because just seems way too much $ . Have you used other iron removers? Cheers 🍻

[@JayLupe]

What other brands do you recommend that give you Iron X results for just a little less?

Fantastic stuff

In general, clay barring could potrentially scratch the clear coat, so to minimise this, it is recommended that you chemically decontaminate the paint with CarPro’s Iron X and/or Tar X, before clay barring. As you’ve shown in your video here, Iron X chemically reacted to the industrial fallout and got rinsed away with water, but if you hadn’t done that, and clay barred the paint first, the clay bar would have picked up the fallout/contaminants and caused more marring on the paint! That’s definitely not what you want, unless you were going to correct the paint to begin with.

[@maritimesledderz7508]

Damn dude that closing was well put together!

[@obxguy1]

Awesome video! Damn Dude you talk fast! lol

[@silent_insanity3631]

Great video! For anyone curious to know how long it last, I got Carpro TriX which is ironX and a bug/tar remover in one. I used almost 3/4 of a regular 16oz bottle to do my 4 door, mid-sized sedan. The nature of the product just requires you to use it liberally so for the cost, just know you'll want to use it only when absolutely necessary (like claying) and may want to purchase in bulk.

[@metalpolishshop]

For those who say Iron X is expensive. If you check out the SDS for the other cheaper chemicals you may notice that they will have less of the active ingredient that makes the purple color. Also you can dilute Iron x if you like and make the product go further.

[@vincentvalentine9417]

correct iron x says 25-30% while megs ultimate wheel says 1-10%. Sonax says 10-15%. Ironx is roughly $1 per ounce and megs is roughly $0.40 per ounce. Depending on their exact percentages they could be about equal in cost vs chemical percentage. Or Iron X could be the better deal. But not by much. My local Walmart had megs for $8 a bottle for some time which made it a better deal. But its close enough to say they are roughly the same.

[@Sherukka]

Using APC-wash, a iron remover and a tar remover can make the claying unnecessary, but it depends case by case.

[@kryptoknight6043]

I needed the claying with all of the above too

[@VictorSanchez-rx1ze]

Definitely is a good method. In my "personal" opinion I think that a good wash, iron remover and then a rinse less/quick detail with a ay bar after is like the best combination but definitely more pricey to charge unless you have a specific package for it. Because I'm fairly cheap with my details since it's more of a side hustle and hobby business so I charge 10 for the iron remover, 15 for a clay bar and an additional 5 for wax (liquid wax). Haven't had any issues using that combination and highly recommend it guys 👌🏼

[@JayLupe]

@@VictorSanchez-rx1ze if you dont mind sharing bro, what liquid wax is your favorite to use on your details?

[@mikedpker45]

Iron X is so expensive !! Here are some cheaper alternatives that have the same exact chemical constituent as iron-X. Nanoskin NA-IFE128 Iron Free Paint, Decontamination Fall Out Remover - 1 Gallon $48 Adam's Iron Remover - Dissolves Iron Particles Embedded into Paint Surfaces - Changes Color to Purple as it Works (1 Gallon) $42 Meguiar's MB0522 Mirror Bright Wheel Cleaner, 22 oz. $8 at Autozone (Scott Dallas Paint recommends)

[@bobdylan9117]

just because a product has the same chemical in it does not mean that it is of the same concentration.

[@layzy24]

What is the main chemical component? And why can't I use a dedicated rust remover like naval jelly or Krud Kutter? There is ZERO KZbin videos on this question of mine.

[@jasonsalazar5217]

How did you use this product on the wheels and deal with overspray on the rotors? after I used this the rotors just looked super rusty. But then again I am starting off with detailing cars...tips would be appreciated. keep up the videos!

[@lockergr]

How long does the smell linger after rinsing, and will that smell linger inside the car whilst driving? I know people say this is pretty bad smelling. Just curious.

[@harrmony]

Can i pre rinse car and then use this product and then wash the car after bro?

[@1powerequalsgod]

I still never understood the differences between using a dedicated non-acid formula for the wheels and the other for the paint.

[@layzy24]

For real. I was going to use naval jelly on some wheels of mine, but the instructions say not to use on aluminum.

[@zacharyepling9717]

I’m trying to decide between Car Pro, CG, and Optimum iron removers. But I noticed how liberally you used this product. About how many vehicles does one bottle last you? TIA

[@J1Z06]

I’ve never used this before. It’s crazy how effective it is!! Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@mikelovell9661]

So i took the cap off the bottle and inserted the trigger sprayer. I left the cap from the iron x on the dresser in my bedroom. Just the cap stunk up 3 rooms in the house

[@robertozugasti7426]

Did almost the same thing and the room where i keep my detailing products still stinks, its almost one week 🤣

[@lockergr]

So after you rinse this off the car is the general area of your yard and car still going to stink? What about when you get in and start driving? Would you say putting this on and doing a full decontamination before a road trip is a bad idea? I have no choice but to store this inside. I don't have a garage.

[@mikelovell9661]

[@ricardomunoz8628]

Can you use it on black cars?

Does the car have to be completely dry?

[@alexbryan9716]

In my opinion...meguiars ultimate all wheel cleaner is a more cost-effective product to use if you are using a lot...costs $8 right now at my Walmart...foaming trigger so it dwells on the surface longer...and cheaper...just my opinion...iron x or products like it are definitely a must have in your arsenal!

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Yep I definitely wouldn’t suggest using this every time, but for certain applications it definitely comes in handy!

How much product did you use? How much left on the bottle?

[@utzdeac]

when i made my car, BMW F10, for the first time, car has 4 years, i used around 300ml, the same with TarX

[@bradboustead1682]

It's easy to go through 1/2 the bottle, especially if you're fighting the wind and it's trying to dry while you let it dwell.

Is iron x safe to use on painted rims?

[@crisworkizer]

Luke, nice vid brother. Where I live we have wild fires which causes ash, do you have any vids on how to treat a car with ash debris ?? Iam sure Iron X would be a part of this cleaning. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Hey there! I honestly have never run into that; but I would say the process would stay the same: wash, clay, iron X, correct/protect

[@crisworkizer]

Wilson Auto Detailing Thank you Luke . Greatly appreciated.

[@OuzoLouGarage]

CarPro iron x works great but smells realy bad . lol

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Yes it smells like death, and its pretty dangerous to inhale

[@lockergr]

Yeah they suggest both eye and face protection and do warn about inhaling it. That's why I was shocked to see so many detailers not wearing a respirator whilst spraying it. I'll be donning one. It helps with smell as an added bonus!

[@m4gician]

Great video man, and great explanation

[@leoniadas72]

Does it have the ugly smell, that Maguires version has?

[@kevinnguyen41220]

leoniadas72 I do not know how the Meguiars product smells, but this one does have a strong smell to it. I would recommend working outdoors with it under shade or a well ventilated area

[@bradboustead1682]

It is stinky. Gloves will help keep it off your hands. Good to be in the shade so it can dwell. Good to have no wind so it doesn't waft back into your face.

[@_Forever555]

Does this product hurt a sealant which is already applied?

[@jessiereyes6704]

UE853 yes it does it.

[@bradboustead1682]

Normally when you're doing this you are trying to get down to bare paint to start over. Stripper wash, clay, iron-x, wash, polish, protectant etc.

[@duckco1]

Will this take paint over spray off?

[@firstname1927]

Capt P it’s pretty unlikely since the product is specifically to decontaminate brake dusts or iron particles on the paint. I would just go for an apc wash + mild claybarring.

[@gregfisher216]

What about dark colored cars ?

[@bradboustead1682]

It is working the same on dark cars as on light cars, just more visual on light.

[@kotomakosako]

Which one smells worse? Iron X or Gyeon Iron :) And which one is better in removing fallout from paint in your opinion?

[@edwint9161]

I don't think so

[@edwint9161]

After the iron z i think you have yo a plaid a sealant for tge paint maybe a ceramic coating

[@layzy24]

I don't the question is if it's "safe". The question you would be asking is if it's "cost effective". This shit is pricy $$$

[@RaiseAkitas]

People making many of these videos go way overboard using too many products to get good results. Rise vehicle, foam vehicle, rinse vehicle, hand wash vehicle, clay bar vehicle, wash vehicle, wax or seal vehicle....perfect results. Unless you need paint correction in which case polish with a DA after clay baring it. Way too many products out there you don't really need to clean and protect your vehicle.

[@AllThisThingsIHateU]

i clay my car every week due to this rail dust. Every week I wash my car, there is always rail dust all over and you can really see it after a wash. I think i clay too much which might be bad for my car clear coat.

[@visi5649]

By using Optimum No Rinse in the damp microfibre stage you are adding a layer of either wax, or polymer sealant to the surface of the vehicle (depending on which Optimum No Rinse you used) so you don’t have a ‘blank canvas’ on which to add the sealant. I hope you either used a solvent based panel prep?, or a one stage polish type stage? to get the surface prepped for the application of the sealant? 🤔

[@anthonycampi3398]

If using iron x do u need re polish or just wax or sealant?

[@wilsonautodetailing]

iron x doesnt abrade any of the paint, so whatever you follow up with, polishing, waxing, sealing, etc... it doesnt make a difference, just whatever you are after

[@RaiseAkitas]

If you washed the vehicle why did you not get all the bugs off? If you foam a vehicle and contact wash it all bugs should be gone if you use a good soap. Don't understand why bugs still exist. After washing my truck I never have any bug guts left on the surface whatsoever.

Is the vehicle suppose to be dried after washing before iron x is applied

[@franciscoarroyo1051]

You can but I would say no. Reason is , you dont want to water down the iron x . I wait for my car to cool down and then spray it iron x before I start the wash process.
