Why I Stopped Using Iron Wheel Cleaners and P&S Iron Buster Wheel & Paint Decon Remover Review!

[@owensteele1645]

Very good video👍It's great to see a demo on dusty white alloys instead of the usual satin black which I can never tell is clean or dirty.

[@R3dL1ght5]

Started using that break buster in a foamer, very effective!

[@klasseact6663]

It's the only way I've ever used it, been buying it over and over since it came out👍👍

[@MrMichaelsaldana]

You have to try turtle wax hybrid solutions rapid decon iron remover. It smells great no nasty smell. And it works excellent.

[@bluewatermobiledetail]

I'm still not sold on these high-priced wheel cleaners! I think some of the degreasers/APC's that you can get from your big box stores like Simple Green, Super Clean, Zep, etc work absolutely fine. Just use common sense and dilute properly. I have been in business for almost 7 years and have tried them all! I would love to use the expensive stuff, but it just doesn't make any sense. I use Super Clean at 10:1 and in 7 years I've NEVER had any problems. Super Clean is $10/gallon and diluted at 10:1 it just makes the most sense to me. Yes you'll have to agitate a little, as a 10:1 isnt that strong (But its pretty safe) Now if a customers wheels are caked with brake dust, I love using Superior Products acid (Wire Wheel I think its called) at 5:1 and its amazing! I always take my time and rinse the wheels off good and then spray a little Seal&Shine on the wheels and then dry completely. On a side note, the P&S Iron Buster is what I have been using for a few years now and I actually dilute mine 1:1. Every job is different, but for %95 of jobs Super Clean 10:1 and Iron Buster 1:1 does a fantastic job and it also keeps my detailing prices very competitive because I'm not spending $3 on each wheel and tire, but stilll gives me great results. You just gotta put a little more labor into the cleaning, compared to using the expensive stuff. If you have the $$$ Bilt Hamber Auto Wheel is crazy good...

[@montyreed333]

I use Iron Buster with the P&S Reset Clay Towel as a lubricant,works great. Also use it with Brake Buster. Just got the new Express Interior Wipes in.

[@Crashandburnkb]

Stoner Iron Remover uses a different chemical to remove iron (so no visual change unless you buy the one with indicator) and doesnt have the smell because they use another chemical.

[@Patrick94GSR]

I’ve been using just Meguiar’s Ultimate wheel cleaner for several years now, which does have the stinky sodium thyioglycolate and turns iron deposits purple. But it’s 10 bucks a bottle and I buy like 1 per season. Works great. But I don’t use it on my coated wheels. For that I just use car soap on a foam cannon.

[@joevanseeters2873]

That's a beautiful spec Mach E in that green with the white wheels! I love the look of that thing. What a perfect color for our great State of Colorado. Hello from Colorado Springs!

[@OutofSpecDetailing]

Pretty cool right! Thanks to Ford for sending it out to us! Hello from 2 hours north!

[@shnerp]

Thanks for the detailed video ! I also wont use Gyeon's wheel cleaner. The smell is just too much. I think I may switch to simple green for my wheels.

[@themikeroberts]

A warning on Simple Green, the original one ("All Purpose" or Industrial Degreaser) is not officially aluminum safe and there are reports on forums of people who've had it discolor aluminum. Simple Green Pro HD (a concentrate) and Max (meant for cars, not a concentrate) are aluminum safe and contain corrosion inhibitors.

[@MrSfdude]

Would be interesting to see what would happen mixing Simple Green with the Iron Buster...

[@britishrocklovingyank3491]

All you need is an APC. I use iron products on wheels if I am coating them or if they are incredibly trashed. So about 95% of the time just APC. When I do use iron remover I don't use KZbin amounts. A light misting is all that is needed.

[@Patrick94GSR]

I use Meguiar’s APC at 1:4 strength for tires, and just car soap in a foam cannon for my coated wheels. It’s been working great.

[@BreezeMW]

Nice video man. When talking about the Adam’s product that you don’t like due to staining the tires are you referring to their “Wheel Cleaner” or the “Wheel AND Tire Cleaner”? TIA

[@OutofSpecDetailing]

Wheel cleaner, haven’t tested the wheel and tire from them.

[@BreezeMW]

@ oh ok, I saw someone comment below asking if you’ve tried the Wheel & Tire cleaner specifically and you said you had tried it and that it stains tires so wanted to clarify.

[@themikeroberts]

Stoner has a new odor free iron remover that uses a different chemical. Could be worth using when APC isn't gonna work. Their chemical doesn't turn purple so they sell a version with an added chemical that turns orange but it will stain concrete that's not sealed.

[@salsalawyer]

What ratio do you use for Simple Green to clean wheels?

[@viperrcr]

Would love to see you include Nanoskin Iron Free. Usually about $50 per gallon.

[@hawke525]

I hope to see Ethos Wheel Cleaner+ compare w/ Iron Buster

[@OutofSpecDetailing]

Sure!

[@BryanRushing]

I think this is a great idea. I’ve new to the detailing DIY hobby but have been thinking about this concept! I want to know more. Located in Charlotte Nc.

[@CristienPerez]

How much pressure is your pressure washer?

[@nomad509]

I don't know man, Simple Green makes me cough and it smells like crap and have since switched to CarPro Eraser for degreasing.. Although Iron Buster is not the most pleasant smell, I can work with it having zero issues. To make up for the lack of lathering or that gelling effect you get with MWC, Iron Buster works great in conjunction with Brake Buster. I clean my wheels so often, so KCx is not needed often so all I need is BB in an IK Foam Pro2 and simple agitation. Using an iron remover often just seems unnecessary unless in the day to day detailer space.

[@KyleBrightman]

Colton, you talk about how bad the Gyeon smells and I’ve never used it, but is it worse than Sonax Full Effect or Wheel Cleaner Plus?

[@OutofSpecDetailing]

It’s pretty rough!

[@karlgregory8190]

i thought you seemed to like the new gyeon wheel cleaner? you like the magic wheel cleaner?

[@stevoeight]

Used iron buster for a couple years. Personally thought the scent was worse than gyeon iron and gyeon wheel. Gyeon wheel also dwells longer.

[@OutofSpecDetailing]

I found the quite the opposite! Time to retest!

[@tonipepperoni77]

been using it for years

[@fookatan]

Try Armour detail supply wheel cleaner has iron remover also and better smell

[@OutofSpecDetailing]

Will do

[@LegendFlower]

great video! Can you add Maniac Wheel and Tyre cleaner to the test? I don't see very many videos on it but I love it since its one of the few dilutable wheel cleaners.

[@OutofSpecDetailing]

Sure thing

[@Ficon]

Thank you for sharing! Any tips on cleaning the matte black plastic like the MachE wheel arches?

[@OutofSpecDetailing]

These are satin painted plastics, treat it like matte paint

[@Ficon]

@ Ah ok. I was thinking more of textured plastic like base EV9, Countryman, etc.

[@OutofSpecDetailing]

I have many videos on this!

[@Pittsburgh-412]

Have you ever tried adams wheel and tire cleaner? Its $35 for 1 gallon and it does amazing on both wheels and tires

[@OutofSpecDetailing]

Yep, stains tires. Don’t like it.

[@hdr96k]

Wouldn't iron buster work better on ICE wheels like on a truck vs an EV wheel? Waaay more brake dust so the value might be better for a traditional amount of brake dust.

[@918sonicsupra]

After a track day where you have a lot of rubber stuck to the paint and trim, what do you use to get the sticky rubber from the tires off?

[@OutofSpecDetailing]

Tar X

[@LoveLikeaHurricane]

you can probably also use Rapid Remover

[@smb1014]

Koch Chemie Eulex or CarPro TarX

[@Turbo6Detail]

So for my own car that I wash regularly, I just use my pH neutral soap. I really don’t pull out my wheel cleaner very often. On client cars, their wheels are usually in pretty bad shape and need wheel cleaner.

[@gaugeprower]

Wait, don’t the new Gyeon Iron removal products have a new Banana scent though?

[@chrisautointerest6862]

Can you also compare Superior Products Dark Fury wheel cleaner?

[@shunnybunny]

I saw a post on reddit earlier today calling this tire and wheel ugly lol

[@OutofSpecDetailing]

Tire is, wheel is fantastic

[@elayswisa]

You need to try surfex hd

[@OutofSpecDetailing]

Great! I will!

[@russvague2748]

Try it on a BMW!

[@HenrikScheel_]

Use water and soap and clean twice a year that's enough

[@rusticroads]

Great video! Do you usually remove the wheels when doing a full detail? Looking forward to a build quality analysis of the Mach-E since it’s not been done yet (or at least, the video was never published)!

[@OutofSpecDetailing]

Yes

[@davidpickard9393]

Why would an Electric car have brake dust

[@OutofSpecDetailing]

There’s an old saying “if your not using the brakes, you aren’t driving fast enough”

[@sheepstardetail]

Regenerative braking only applies a certain amount of load and only above certain speeds. You will use friction braking, just not as much as a normal car.

[@Japplesnap]

Um....because they have brakes.

[@gj91471]

If EV drivers just use regen brakes.....they better have deep pockets to replace rusted and warped discs....and expensive stuck on calipers. Regen is the worst idea in Motoring history.......

[@sheepstardetail]

@ regen kicks off below certain speeds. As long as you service callipers and pads bi-annually there isn’t any issues. Brake fluid is also a 2 year interval instead of 3 like ICE cars.
