It's great seeing this comparison. WD40 has been the off road racers choice for noncoated (Paint or Powder Coated) fabricated parts for years. Design, Fabricate and test raw (using WD40 as rust inhibitor) then when prototype passes it would be chemically stripped for Powder Coat.
WD40 Does work for minor rust stains but it needs to be left to soak for 15-20 minutes then gently scrubbed don't add fresh solution onto already contaminated it won't make any difference. My personal opinion I'd use WD40 on small flat surfaces where it is easier to remove only.
I need to get some of that iron remover to test on the my Cybertruck. I see a thread popping up from people saying the cold rolled 30x stainless used on the Cybertruck is corrosion prone due to some rust spots some of the early owners are spotting after rain. But since I follow you and other detailers, I know new cars often has iron contamination. Especially when the vehicles are behind shipped via railroad. The Tesla service advisor gave up the timeline as my truck was completed at the factry in Austin, TX. He said it will be loaded up onto a train to be sent to Riverside. Then transported to San Diego. Would be great to do a decontamination video to show that there is indeed lots of rail dust all over the truck that needs to be taken off after one drives it home from the delivery center. I was gonna use the chemical guys formula I have. But now thinking I need to get the same smelly stuff you have. I agree with you, they all smell anyways... I rather it be effective when I need to use it. Probably someone like yourself need to get a hold of a Cybertruck and give it a once over and educate the masses. So I can have a video to refer to when I see the comments online. :)
'May be corrosive to metals", that is written at the instructions on the bottle of Koch Chemie Rrr (I own it). Why is that? I didn't know that text before. So, we use Rrr to remove rust, but it could potentially cause rust? Rust is a kind of corrosion.
That first door has rust coming through the seam. I know u r concerned only with visuals in this video, but that rust needs a penetrating solution applied from inside the door (or through drilled access holes). Wool wax, or Blaster, etc will not dry out and will forever creep into the seam and slowing the rust process. Applying the WD40 from the outside and leaving it to soak in overnight before wiping off excess may help, but prob will not penetrate the entire seam...
What is it with the color white and rust specks? I know many will say they are just more noticable on white vehicles, but that's not my experience. My friend has a silver vehicle that hardly gets any rust specks, next to none actually, and yet his white vehicle gets many. I've noticed this over the years with various white vehicles.
Ive definitely seen it on silvers for sure. I think with white (atleast basic white, not the pearls) is that maybe they dont take as many layers to produce compare to a metallic finish and because of that the paint reacts differently??? Just a thought because i agree, its always on white cars. Other colors get it too for sure, but white cars do seem to get it worse
I never use iron remover. I use acid wheel cleaner diluted 15 to 1 . Does the same thing . As far as your video i would spray straight acid on a tooth brush and go at it . Rinse thoroughly after .
My car is white color and only 18 months since it's production. But it has started showing very small rust like stains all over the body. Should I apply iron remover or should wait for some more time
Could you possibly leave information and a picture and the cost of this product and where I can buy it at in what are the products that you offer. To help take care of your vehicle and make it look beautiful to years?
yea you can and thats typically the route i go. in this situation where it was built uyp and in the seam clay would have been hard to get in there, but i can be done!
The reason this didn’t work is because it’s like using a rain coat to soak up water. You would put your raincoat on BEFORE you get wet instead of using it to dry yourself off. In the same way, Wd40 helps prevent rust by providing a barrier between your metal and the water. Once it is rusted, wd40 won’t do much to help that in the most effective way.
I just got some P&S Crystal Wash. it’s also a sprayable decontamination solution. Not sure what it smells like yet… The way it works is; you spray it into wheels with brakebuster over the top after a minute to agitate. Or spray dry onto your paint and let it dry. It forms what. Look like crystals and then you can wash it. Many P&S lovers really like it! Fun fact is they claim it’s an organic and safe acid.
Thanks as usual! I was looking for some comparisons on YT putting KC RRR against others but didn’t find any. Have you found it to work better than IronX or other iron removers? Or are they pretty similar ?
@@imjoshv Ok thanks man…can’t wait for that. A suggestion if possible…include a portion of your test that involves just rinsing off vs agitation before rinsing off. Hoping I can save time and skip agitation on most washes, and would love to know which product is better for that. Peace
I just bought a MDX for my daughter and the door James look like the have some black stains in all of the door jambs is it mold or what can I use to remove it and not damage the rubber gaskets
If it is mold, 10% bleach/water. It may be the seller used a phosphoric acid-based "Rust Converter" where the door seams were rusting. This will turn the rust into iron phosphate, which is black.
WD is better because it won't strip off the clear coat like the other one does He did it in a spot where no one cares not on the hood or other painted surface. WD is safer on paint.
IKR? This man need to slow his speech down just a tad and drop the apparent habit of waving the cans around while repeating what he's already said 3x...
I personally dont like those. It may just be my old school way of thinking, but claying could potentially cause some marring.. I wouldnt want to apply protection over that before correcting it. Have you tried it yet? And if so how dow you like it? Enough lubrication

The Turtle Wax Rapid Decon has worked really well for me. The Sulfur type odor is still there but is well masked.
Nice! Yea the adams iron remover has some sort of masking agent on it as well so it doesnt smell as bad..
@@imjoshvin addition to that when on sale for 30% is a very price competitive item.
I Use Wd as a tar remover.. works really well when you have a lot of fresh tar that you need to remove.

P&S crystal wash works just as well doesn’t stink but doesn’t turn purple so no video gratification 😁
Yea Gyeon has one like that too!
That is not an iron remover
Do a little research before you spew stupid,it is an iron remover

P&S Crystal Wash... no rotten egg odor... no purple residue to possibly stain concrete

Which one should I use if a water leak drop on my car and left a rust stains on it?? Will W40 works or should I use the iron remover?
I wonder if that is safe on something like a motorcycle with an exposed engine. Anybody have experience?
The best is bilthamber atom mac or refresh gel for actual rust but also there fallout remove is awesome .

Of course!!

Will this stuff work for bad rust spots on cars exterior?- eaten away rust spots?
I usually just rub on a napalm solution. Then strike a match. It just burns that rust right off.

Great video Josh, you do an awesome job.
Thank you. I will have to buy rust remover
Can you use clay only instead of Iron Remover
yea you can and thats typically the route i go. in this situation where it was built uyp and in the seam clay would have been hard to get in there, but i can be done!

That makes sense. I saw it being used this way so i wanted to test that, but what your saying seems correct!!
Cool skate decks!
I saw a review on the new 3D GLW series iron remover and the reviewer said it didn't have that bad a smell. 3D was able to mask it very well.
I have rust on chrome wheels does it work to remove them?
Have you tried "Turtle Wax 53759 Hybrid Solutions All Wheel Cleaner & Iron Remover" ? I hear that has low odor.
C.L.R works great as well
I have a bit ov break dust on my paint work will wd40 get it off u reckon
I would like to see your thoughts on carpro iron x vs Reactive rust remover.
Ill try to do a side by side
I just got some P&S Crystal Wash. it’s also a sprayable decontamination solution. Not sure what it smells like yet…

Ill look into it thanks
Is that product available in Amazon
Can the rust remover be used in the engine bay
Would the spray you recommend, or other similar to it, be good for small rust spots I have on my car's exterior? Or should I use something else?
Yea as long as they are just surface rust spots it will help dissolve them away. Other than that you can also use a clay bar
Thanks as usual!
I was looking for some comparisons on YT putting KC RRR against others but didn’t find any. Have you found it to work better than IronX or other iron removers? Or are they pretty similar ?
It’s been pretty similar but I’m planning on doing a side by side to really see what the results are
@@imjoshv Ok thanks man…can’t wait for that. A suggestion if possible…include a portion of your test that involves just rinsing off vs agitation before rinsing off. Hoping I can save time and skip agitation on most washes, and would love to know which product is better for that. Peace
Fuego from hyperclean doesnt smell. It's also quite clingy.
Whats best to remove rust stains as a result of rusted water leaking onto my cars hood without damaging the paints coating and strpping the paint?
WD 40 or white vinegar
Yeah that rust is coming back it’s working it’s way from the inside out
fair point!
I just bought a MDX for my daughter and the door James look like the have some black stains in all of the door jambs is it mold or what can I use to remove it and not damage the rubber gaskets

Yea I went a whole day smelling like iron remover the first time I used one not fun
Yep... Its funny i could smell it on my hands but my wife couldnt so maybe it gets in the nose a bit
Thanks just bought this, amazing!
👍👍
WD is better because it won't strip off the clear coat like the other one does He did it in a spot where no one cares not on the hood or other painted surface. WD is safer on paint.
Where can you buy that iron remover? What’s name of it or who makes it?
IKR? This man need to slow his speech down just a tad and drop the apparent habit of waving the cans around while repeating what he's already said 3x...
McKees37 just introduced a product for clay and SIO2 Sealant in one product
I personally dont like those. It may just be my old school way of thinking, but claying could potentially cause some marring.. I wouldnt want to apply protection over that before correcting it. Have you tried it yet? And if so how dow you like it? Enough lubrication
DIY detail's decon towel shouldn't mar paint , maybe u have to use something similar for that M's 37
Pan The Organizer dropped new video now where Yvan Lacroix is using decon towel dampened in Rinsless wash and Ceramic gloss as lube
Try detail studio iron remover no smell
thanks ill check it out!
Is it possible to polish without a buffer? Hand polish that is
It’s possible but be prepared for a lot of sweat equity
i agree!
@@imjoshv Wash, clay, compound, Polish, IPA wash and then wax?
Yea, unless you dont need to compound then you can go straight to polish.
Side note: I think Coca Cola eats rust too?? Is that the next video, but is it paint safe? 🤔
haha yea maybe acidic
AM Details doesn’t stink
Can you use iron remover underneath your vehicle to remove rust?
After you remove surface rust, what do you do to prevent it from happening again? Is there any product to prohibit/prevent rust like that?
On bare metal, bilt hamber atom Mac
What's the name of this one?
Koch chemie reactive rust remover
Josh give AM Details Iron remover a shot. It has no real smell. Goes on yellow too so it's easy to see where you're applying it.
Heh with all these comments i can see Josh doing an iron remover comparison test.
hiding signs of rust isnt fixing rust. Thats just gunna rust again
Use the right chemical for the right job. It may smell bad but it does get the job done.
yea as you can see the whole first part of the video using wd40 was pretty much a waste of time haha
@imjoshv Not really. You had to try, and now we all know about the WD-40 hack.
Yea thats how i look at it. Since im able to share it on the channel its not a total waste ha
I like Adams. Smells like 🍊
Afraid off smell
