Iron Removers - Do They Really Work?

- Опубликовано: 15 авг 2024
- In this video we put two different brands of iron remover to work to see if they really are worth buying versus using a good wheel cleaner.
The best way to remove contaminants like that is to actually clean your wheels on a regular basis, not just spray them down but actually wipe the brake dust off of them 2 or 3 times a week. Then it doesn't have time to actually bake in to the finish.
Take wheel off. Clean normally with wheel cleaner, then ironx, then clay, wash again with soap, then use light compound and a DA polisher. Start with the least aggressive compound / polish and then if you need something more aggressive then go up a step in the compound / polish you’re using
it looks like someone used a chemical on the wheels and it left something behind or damaged the clear, you’d need to start with a clay then move up to polishing. Hard to tell without physically feeling and looking at it. Don’t spray the brake rotor if possible it will cause more corrosion if it’s acid based. If wheels have brown iron stains the easiest way to remove is wheel acid, spray on agitate and immediately rinse. I pretreat the rotors with bilt hamber atomic Mac to prevent corrosion. I’ve tried multiple iron removers on wheels and it never removed anything my standard wheel cleaner would.
You keep mentioning that you don't know what the embedded grit is on the wheel, its mainly embedded brake dust and some regular dirt from the road and even dust particles from rotor. It happens to all wheels, mine are ceramic coated and I still get stuff embedded in there, especially the barrel and the hard to reach corners of the face of the wheel. Brake dust is very harsh and loves to eat and dig down into paint. I even think brake dust is acidic on some level. Only way to prevent this is to get some performance brake pads that will reduce amount of dust by a lot, and/or clean wheels with a good wheel cleaner ever week or so. Even doing both of these, you will still get embedded crap on your wheel.
I guess it's not that I don't know what it is, but more a why question. Why do people allow their wheels to go that long between cleanings that the wheels get impacted with debris that bad? I constantly clean my wheels, so I never have to experience that.
Thanks for taking the time to comment!
@@Driven2Compete I clean my wheels at least every 2 weeks very thoroughly and over time I still get embedded stuff. Also depends on brake pad type and composition as well as the type of brakes you have. I have 4 piston Brembo's in front and get a ton of dust with regular performance pad and less dust with a performance ceramic pad. In the rears I have regulars brakes using same type of pad, but get way, I mean wayyy less dust in the rear. I clean both front and rear wheels the same exact way, yet I have like triple the embedded crap in the fronts cause of the brakes and also they are in the front and in more contact with road crap and dirt, etc. All of this could very well have to do with the type of wheel, powder coated versus painted versus alloy. I think its inevitable at least for my wheel setup, unless you clean your car after every drive. Also using iron remover every week/2weeks is not good for the wheel finish so its a balance between not having that gritty crap versus making your wheel finish last longer, at least for the front face. Im going to use some iron remover this week and will see if I can get rid of that gritty stuff, Ive never used iron remover on my latest wheels so im curious to see how it turns out. Ill share my results with you.
I think maybe you can use a clay bar but idk if I’m wrong though
What about all the rust on the rotors
The remover strips alot off your rotors, but does leave a fine rust behind that is removed quickly during driving.
Wasn’t this car that you took to Gappleby’s with the R?
I never gapped it. He got the hit on me in an 8spd Hellcat. From a dig, well I'd murder it.
just guessing, from the accent... are you from East Bawlmer?
Central Pennsylvania
The worst thing you can do to your wheels it etches into the metal and Even after washing it keeps working into the metal
@@kenneon1716 as of yet, no evidence of that occurring on my ride.
U should probably try and use a pressure washer probably would get a better result
Adam's Iron Remover does not work. Have a 2022 Civic (Black) and a 2023 Camry (Red) washed both cars separately for at least 1 hour between washes, and let them air dry for a few minutes. Sprayed Adam's Iron Remover on the Camry and let stand for 7 minutes so as not to let the car dry completely, there were no Purple marks. Did the same to the Civic and again no Purple marks. Rinsed off the worthless Adam's Iron Remover, dried both cars and waxed them. Waste of money as purchased 1 gallon of Adam's for $55.
How do you know it was iron that was on both cars? There's a good possibility it was a different contaminant.
try polishing
